Premières vacances

Funny, intelligent, heartwarming... the best movie I have seen in many months. I love comedies but I am so tired of seeing stupid scenes of people puking/urinating depicted as funny. It seemed to me that screenwriters were lacking imagination and good taste until I found this French gem.

Now I want to visit Bulgaria and guess what? I plan to watch the Italian movie they referred to (Il Sorpasso). I know I will love it too.

Good movie for quarantine, remind me that i did twice this kind of thing(travel with someone i meet on tinder haha)

I'm not a romantic comedy guy and skipped this one at first. Then a good friend advised me to watch it recently and I had a very good time. The direction and editing are fine with a nice pace, the acting is good (if you like Jonathan Cohen, don't miss it !) and the script is quite funny. We follow the trip to Bulgaria by two people that just met on a famous dating site, they don't really know each other and will discover their differences day after day. This simple canvas could be easily bland and dull but the personality of the main characters is strong enough to drag the movie to the top, and anybody who experienced this situation can easily relate to their struggle. It's not really a 9 stars movie but I thought the rating was too low, it's more a 7 in my opinion, with an extra for a surprisingly successful first direction.

Depicting perfectly the French Parisians today and very funny.
