Malas compañías

I for one one know how to say anything in French other that "yes","yes sir","excuse me" and other sorted words/comments which wouldn't get me out of the French airport; but there's something about this movie as all good foreign films that made me fluent in the French language I was immediately wrapped up in the world of these two girls who fall for their boyfriends but despite the fact that their plan to leave all together comes down to the girls degrading themselves into the world of prostitution where the are subsequently seen as outcasts by their friends and classmates and seen as no more then whores by the boys who "use their services" the girls learn the hard way that not everything is the way it seems. In the end I feel sad for the loss of true love due to the circumstances by way of the only boy which really did love her in his own naive way but could not get the same love back from a girl who's hart was stolen by someone else who in the end would betray her trust. In the world we live in now growing pains are much more common by the ways perfectly portrayed in this film and in this ever changing world we could all learn something from the mistakes of these two girls but never the less this kind of life story is one better experienced personally.

For more than half an hour, this is no more than a conventional and rather boring story about first love among young teens. Maybe the film makers realized this, adding a rude drama for the second half of the movie, which has very little to do with the first half.

It could work, in the same way a good thriller can take a long time before the horrors emerge - but it doesn't, not at all, because the development of the plot is simply not plausible in the characters. There is nothing in them, which convinces me that they would get themselves into that mess. Nor is there anything about them revealed in the second half of the movie, which would bring light to the sudden change.

It's like two movies in one, or maybe even three or four. One or two of them could be good, left alone, but not a chance when they're messed up with each other.

I like French movies a lot, and I like racy content however, this movie is silly. Reality check: If Laurent was a destitute heroin junkie badly in need of a fix and Delphine was an abused run-away with no family to turn to for help, I might have had some chance of accepting this movie's plot. There are so many other better French movies out there, try Jean-Luc Godard instead of this.

I watched this film without foreknowledge of the storyline other than that implied by the title. Having read the other reviews on this board I would like to add an elder male perspective. This is definitely not a film just for adolescents about adolescence. In fact I found the portrayal of the lead male character one of the best played (and surprising) performances I have seen in a considerable time. Unlike the other commentators (and since I did not know what was coming) I think there were sufficient hints as to the character's true nature as revealed in the last third of the film. This is a fine example of where European cinema empowers its younger generation to think while Hollywood generally denies the same audience the same right.

This movie is great, theres only one sex scene in it but its so shocking to see stuff not allowed on the states and Mexico as well for a softcore scene with a minor,I liked the movie because it talks about growing up in an enviroment that can take you places you really dont want to be part of,This is not the classical story girl meets boy and boy gets girl, this is more like: Girl meets boy, boy likes girl, boy pimps that girl..etc. shocking stuff happens and lives change forever in this great tale about love and blows, youll like it too.
