Chouchou & Loulou have a hangover (tv)
20 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Well, i have watched this movie for 3 reasons : Geraldine, Dujardin & Alexandra, Las Vegas. For every reason, it was a disappointment. Geraldine has less than 1 minute of appearance ; Chouchou & Loulou are an old grumpy couple that recalls Cruise and Kidman in Kubrick's movie. Las Vegas segment is a total failure: we can't really cruise the sin city as they stay in their hotel room. And the fact that the movie uses the same "showgirls" frame for Cheetah Club doesn't change anything!

Beyond that, the movie is dumb and stupid (especially the end) as it mixes the macho vulgarity for fun with the most depressive drama. The idea to have the same actors doing plenty of characters is rather original but my binary mind can't laugh and cry in the same time ! In other words, they should have choose one tone (eeither comedy, either drama) and stick with this !
