This movie belongs to the kind that organizes the world around a very strange character : so Brice is a bit like Pee-Wee as he is inhabited and driven by his insane passion for surf. So the beginning of the movie when it's about meeting this character is indeed fun. But next, there is really no more story as his daily life is chattered and it takes long minutes to find a new direction : winning the surf contest for his new buddy ! But then, the movie lacks production and inspiration as we have really no feeling to be at a beach ! It's faraway of having a summer or vacation fun and Brice starts to be annoying as he tells the same jokes since one hour now ! The romance between his pal and the girl is pretty stupid as much as Cornillac is really a poor actor ! I rent the movie too because Alex was on the credits but she has nearly no screen time ! To resume, as the character was originally just a sketch, it should have been stayed like this because a movie is not about a such little fun moment !

BRICE DE RICE!!!!11!11!11!1!WOW DIS MOVIE IS GREAT OR SUTINBut really, I quite enjoyed the inner psychology of the film. There were many underlying themes of denial, class warfare, and nature. I can completely relate to Brice's wild nature. When I was young, my brother and I split gasoline in the shape on a pentagon on one of my friend's yards. And then we set it on fire. It was something I really feel Brice would do.I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who can't find their way in life. This movie is for you. Forget the bad reviews. Those were the reviews of people who are either 1: rich or 2: ignorant.I love Jean Dujardin. It was a mistake for him to do The Artist. His voice needs to be heard. "My pleasure?" Is that really all he can say in a silent film?BRICE DE RICE FOREVER.

It's no wonder people left the room at the movies after 20 minutes of this. This is the worst movie ever. The few parts that MIGHT have been funny were all recycled from his previous sketches. There's no real story to speak of, though the movie tries to convince you that there is some psychology at work. You can tell the parts that were supposed to be funny but failed miserably. First you will wonder why you don't understand what the heck is happening, then you'll realize that there's nothing to understand, I feel sorry for anyone who saw this at the movies. Worst movie ever. Ever.Ever.

I had a great time watching this movie. Why? Simply because when I got out of the screening, I felt full of energy and i had a smile on my face. You can't say this from a lot of comedies, let alone movies of course.There is no shame in making comedies. I don't understand why a movie should always be dramatic or convey a message. In a way, it has its own weird kind of humor just like the Monty Python had their own weird kind of humor. If you don't feel like watching this kind of movies, just don't go, you won't like it! If you're ready to experience a genuine weird French humor. Try it, you may love it!
