Raid dingue

Dany Boon was hilarious but the plot was too long and over the top.

If you try to play funny you've already lost. The female lead wants to be clumsy and funny, but instead of being it she overplays it which ultimately makes her annoying. We couldn't force ourselves to watch more than 15 minutes.

This is a very good light comedy, most of the comedy scenes were new, you weren't expecting them to happen. It's more of a couple movie, the struggle being a woman in a man's world, so kids might not understand most of it.

I enjoyed it so much that I got my dad and grandparents to the cinema to watch it as well.

Alice Pol is a gifted, very physical comedian. The movie was well cast, with the exchanges between the Minister and the RAID unit chief alone worth the price of admission. Farcical, but with a wonderfully Gallic flair.

Never let anyone tell you your dream cannot become reality ... on the other hand, if someone is as obsessed as our main character here, maybe it's best not to feed their delusion? Just saying ... but take this with a grain of salt! It is a comedy after all. This is not supposed to be real. Just go with the flow and have a laugh (or two or three or ... you get the point).

The charismatic lead character makes it a bit easier to accept her shenanigans and forgive her to a certain extent. Something many in this seem to be able to do also. Except the one guy who is training her ... I mean understandable but also predictable where this is leading too. We also have a "bad guy" who is a very good french actor you may have seen before! It's key that he is in the middle of this ... and what a key he is.

Fun times ahead and all around, if you let yourself enjoy this
