First, I must say I saw the french original version of this movie ; I have no idea if the jokes are good too after foreign translations.

The plot is simple : to avoid to be fired from his job, a producer needs to find a great idea, because his CEO gave him 6 months to have an artist playing at the Olympia (famous french scene in Paris).

So, he starts like everybody will do : listening some singers. But that fails. Until, after a drunken night, he got the idea to have a singing band : a priest, a rabbi and an imam ! From there, I got lots of laughs, as (of course) the rabbi and the imam are not looking friendly. This causes several good jokes, one famous is related to the Dead Sea. The plot is good, lines are well made, and the actors plays like a charm. Guess they had fun while they were filming. The band is named "Coexister", and in english, it can be translated as "get along with". Yup, you got the main idea behind the script !

I have to add one thing : at first sight, I thought "meh another french bad movie". But I watched it until the end, and I am delighted to have been wrong : very good movie, I voted a 8. But remember, I'm a french guy.
