Movie Reviews of Les Comperes
Movie Review: A must-have if you like Richard-Depardieu movies
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is another jewel of the Richard-Depardieu partnership. Those two are great together! Can't imagine this movie being the same without them.
A mom, whose son has run away, finds her two ex-boyfriends and tells each one of them separately that the boy is his. She asks them to help her find him. The adventures of the Daddies are hilarious!
Light, cute, pleasant comedy with a happy ending. Highly recommend.
Movie Review: Lol
Summary: 5 Stars
I expected this film to be just so so, but I honestly think it is the next funniest film to Some Like it Hot. Not as well shot perhaps but the laughs are there and often unexpected. Well written and acted.Best comedy I have seen in ages.Movie Review: My face hurt
Summary: 5 Stars
My face hurt I laughed so much and so hard at this movie. Absolutely delightfully hilarious.Movie Review: Enjoyable and funny
Summary: 4 Stars
The first time I saw Depardieu and Richard team up was in the 1981 film La Chevre, which became a Worldwide hit as one of the funniest films. It had a few weaknesses, like the gorilla in Mexico, which suggested that the makers were not totally serious in striving to make a perfect film and did not expect it to become such a huge hit. Yet, La Chevre was a comedy magic.
Thus, I was excited to see the next Depardieu - Richard collaboration, the 1983 Les Comperes. Alas, I was somewhat disappointed. Les Comperes is not as funny, nor as engaging as La Chevre. I had the feeling that Depardieu and Richard did not quite have their hearts in it. It almost felt like a sequel. Depardieu again played the bully and Richard again was the nerd. Although the main story is great, many of the comic scenes were reworked versions from La Chevre. Further, the supporting cast was not as good as in La Chevre. In particular, the actor playing Tristan, the son that run away, did not fit and was not believable.
If you have not seen La Chevre, you will find Les Comperes enjoyable and better than most comedies.
Movie Review: Very funny at parts but kind of slapstick
Summary: 4 Stars
I wouldn't call this a subtly witty movie, but there were times when I laughed out loud. There were other times when I thought it was predictable and the humor just too broad.
As usual, Depardieu is very funny, but Pierre Richard is equally funny. Depardieu and Richard have both been told that they are the father of a runaway teenager -- the mother figures if they think it's their kid, they'll go looking for him and bring him back. Her husband -- the kid's father - isn't doing anything. Eventually they realize they are both possibly the kid's father (or so they think) so they team up to look for him -- in Nice, where Depardieu is investigating corruption in the casinos. Depardieu is a rough newspaper reporter, whereas Richard is a depressed ex-schoolteacher, so you have the odd-couple thing going.
There's a lot of broad, tough guy humor -- cars getting vandalized, gangsters stalking Gepardieu & Richard, teenage hoodlums, fist fights, that sort of thing. But although that sort of thing isn't usually what I enjoy, some of it did make me laugh out loud.
