Absolutely brilliant
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Jean-Hughes Anglade might be the only French alive actor to have a place called after his name in his hometown Langeais ;unfortunately "minors 27" does not give him a single moment to shine,his part being largely underwritten.The subject of abused minor (male) children in an outdoor center could have been treated by André Cayatte or Yves Boisset;but those directors -generally unfairly dismissed by "intellectual" viewers- had an unquestionable quality:they knew how to tell a story .The audience knew what they were driving at and their know-how was effective."Mineurs 27" was given a fragmented "modern" structure ;the first quarter is almost entirely silent and the viewer does not really know who the characters are and what they are up to;a teenager spies on another one who is in love with a beautiful girl and plays the peeping tom on the beach and in the toilets ;to give a political side (shades of Boisset but also of Costa-Gavras) to a limp screenplay,we learn that the boy in question is none other than the mayor's son.All in all,"Minor 27" dealt with a very serious case and it failed totally to convince.
