Lacks the comedic aspects, includes very empty not likeable characters with strange conversations and has just too many scenes which make no sense, even for a comedy movie in which of course logic is not the main aspect.
First of all I went to see this movie in a german cinema, and since I don't speak french I watched it in german.
So the translation might be part of the problem but surely can't excuse the terrible conversations in this movie.
The characters are often not really interacting with each other, A says something and then B answers but without concidering what A said at all.
My thoughts were constanetly "No-one would say that" and "No-one would act like this in this situation" which maybe would be acceptable in a comedy if it was at least funny but in my opinion it wasn't at all.
I am not a big laugher watching movies anyways, but I don't think i even once smirked while watching.
Simple jokes like one character mispronouncing the main characters name slightly different in every scene was probably the (not very high) highlight.
The movie has some points were it tries to do situational humor mainly through the maincharacter beeing a little bit cheeky but overall it was just not funny.
Which was also suprising because I normally do enjoy a lot of the french comedies even when I watch them in german.
Partly due to the weird conversation I had a problem with the characters in general.
I couldnt connected with, or really like, any of them, they were so unauthentic and weird.
The mood swings and behaviour of the characters were extremly unrealistic and random to me.
And the last point that really upset me was storylining that made no sense.
Yes this is a comedy but I have a hard time overlooking stuff like this, there were just so many logical holes in many scenes, eg. Blake meeting Magnier, the hospital scene, Blake shooting at the attorneys, the break in scene... I am not gonna go further into this but this was so ridicoules for no reason, and not in a funny way.
Concluding, this was a unpleasent cinema experience for me in which I couldn't wait for the movie to end.
The Lack of humor, unrealistic conversations and unlikeable characters made this no fun to watch.
