It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I watched Steak and thought it was pretty stupid, but then I found myself laughing at some of the scenes a couple of days afterwards. I immediately saw the movie again (it's on YouTube) and credit where it's due, this is a funny and original film.The 'gang' is just too funny, they're bad but in the most clean-cut way. Eric Judor is excellent playing a very convincing simpleton who tries to impress his peers.Steak is not for everyone, but if Airplane and Caddyshack make you laugh then this movie probably will too. It's not often you can say that a movie is uniquely funny, but Steak is. The French Canadian element makes it a bit different and all those American college movies are parodied brilliantly.Chivers!

I already have seen others movies with Eric and Ramzy and it's pretty fun when you are around ten years old. "Steak" doesn't offer the same humor as the duet offered in their previous movies.The story talk about Blaise who is sent in a psychiatric hospital by mistake and come back after few years in town. His friend Georges is in a gang named "Chivers" and all the peoples of this band has to do plastic surgery. A day, Blaise will do a plastic surgery by himself and will have a place in the gang, but Georges will leave it and become jealous of Blaise.This movie is not fun, maybe only one or two sentences will give you a smile but that's all. It's also different from others movies for it's dullness. There is a reference to the movie "A clockwork Orange" of Stanley Kubrick because the gang only drink milk.A movie to avoid, really.

Surreal and funny, Steak ticks all the boxes for a bizarre, very alternative comedy. Not by any means a family film, nor a mindless drivel comedy that wholly relies on sex gags for a cheap laugh. Steak has unfairly received negative reviews from critics who obviously couldn't see beyond the veneer. I believe this was partly due to poor marketing and selling it as something it just wasn't.Ultimately, the film is about friendship and starts out with Blaise being committed to a psychiatric facility for eight years. When he is released, the only family he has left is his childhood best friend, Georges. Over the last 8 years Blaise has been away, a lot and nothing has changed: Georges is trying his hardest not to be bullied at school and does everything to join the coolest gang around, Chivers, yet he is still a loser and wants nothing to do with Blaise and the dynamics start.The film has a solid story, beautiful cinematography, fantastic soundtrack and an all round vibe that just works. You like the characters you're supposed to like and dislike the ones you're supposed to dislike. The humour is sharp and witty, with a silky daydreamy idleness to it. It is definitely not your run of the mill comedy. Smart Clockwork Orange references are the strongest tongue in cheek parody, but you will notice little nods to other classics too without turning into a cheap rip off.I watched a copy without subtitles and whilst my french is awful, I still got full enjoyment out of it. It's very rare to find a film that is equal in style and substance. Whilst I was horrified to see such negative remarks, I feel my rating of 7/10 is wholly justified and unbiased.There are some fantastic little touches that make you smile, like spit roasting eggs on an open fire and the radio controlled frisbee. This is how the future should be. Versus the apocalyptic near-future in Children of Men, I'd choose the Steakivers future.Fun, beautiful, quirky, cool, light but far far from middle of the road.Unique. 7/10

This movie has one of the most interesting distributions of "votes" I have ever seen on IMDb. As of this date approximately the same number and percentage (23%) of voters think this is a "10" as think it is a "1" (with the balance evenly distributed in between). Clearly a movie you either love or hate! My vote was "1 (Awful)" and I honestly can't conceive what anyone who voted "10 (Excellent)" could possibly say to justify such a vote.The story line is very minimal. Two "losers", played by Eric and Ramzy, want to belong to the "cool" high school group - the Chivers. The latter is a group of males who strive to be "perfect" - with plastic surgery, shallow girlfriends, non-smoking etc. Beyond this concept there isn't any plot per se, simply a number of inter-changeable incidents all showing that Eric and Ramzy are too much losers to ever fit into the group. The incidents aren't very original and you would need an IQ below room temperature not to foresee where they were going or how they would end. These carry on until, lacking any character or plot development, the screenwriter simply tosses in an ending. Obviously a counter argument would be that this is all a "brillant" satire on high school conformity and I've simply missed the point. To paraphrase LLoyd Bentsen's old political zinger "I knew satire and you are no satire". Look to "Heathers" or for that matter even "Animal House". There you have a variety of believable, if misfit, characters, unforeseen plot twists, character development throughout the film(s) and witty dialog. Regrettably all are lacking in STEAK.There is no appreciable "acting" to comment on. Eric and Ramzy basically play one note characters similar to their other movies, sweet stupid and excitable stupid respectively. That does not change from beginning to end. The Chivers may seek conformity but unfortunately it is a very boring conformity with no distinct performances. Needless to say all the actors were 15 to 20 years too old for their roles. I watched Eric and Ramzy in "La Tour Montparnasse Infernale" and would rate it a "5". In retrospect one of the main distinctions of that film was a far more interesting supporting cast. I can't think of a single supporting actor in STEAK who generated much interest.The technical credits, on the DVD I watched, were professional.Obviously there is some market for Eric and Ramzy's "all stupid all the time" routine. I can only think of the reviewer of "La Tour Montparnasse Infernale" who, rating it 9 out of 10, explained that it got funnier the more alcohol he/she drank. I had the misfortune to see STEAK stone cold sober. Is it possible that the 23% of the voters who ranked it a "10" might have had a little alcoholic stimulus before they voted? P.S. the answer to the riddle was that the movie ended (84 minutes) before I laughed.
