hyped garbage

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I went into this film in Sydney with very little in the way of expectations. I found it extremely funny, and Canet is extremely self depreciating throughout the film as he looks as his life as an elder statesman of French cinema. The film is very funny, and excels in revealing the nuances of French cinema through Canet and his wife Marion Cotillard. I felt that it definitely could have been about half an hour shorter, so could have done with tighter editing perhaps. However, if you want a feel-good film look no further. Allez Canet.

Guillaume Canet had shown us films much more interesting.This one is really bad. Neither the scenario, nor the image, nor the sound are good.What is the meaning of this film? Making Money Easily by Taking Guillaume Canet and Marion Cottilard in the casting.It's really a movie to avoid. In the jargon: a turnip.

I'm surprised that the rating isn't higher because this is one of the best French films I've watched! I'm Canadian and my husband is French and there are plenty of jokes that made me appreciate the film. You'll know what I'm talking about if you actually watch the film. I don't want to spoil it for the audience. Both Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard did a fabulous job poking fun at themselves and their careers. They kept the film light yet not cheesy. Well done!

I had the good fortune of having a tiny speaking part in this movie, a first for me. The Director and Star of the movie, Mr Guillaume Canet, is a charming and very gracious person and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. The movie is about an actor who fears he is no longer at his peak at only the age of about 43 and all the drastic measures he takes to recreate himself in a younger image. I think all people at a certain age can relate to this, but especially film actors. His cast is made up of several famous French actors and actresses playing themselves, including the director's real life partner Marion Cottilard. This is a comedy and there are some really funny moments but it is also full of pathos as you see the man go through near hell to try to become physically younger and ruin his looks and nearly ruin his marriage. Great performance from Mr Canet who co-wrote the script. And he surrounded himself with actor friends and even a few family members to make the film even more personal. it was a marvelous experience for me and i think the film is a great way to spend 2 hours and enjoy seeing the inside of the French cinema world.
