Cruising Bar

The story of 4 absolute "down-in-the-dirt" losers trying to land babes on a saturday night. The stories of the total geek and the wannabe playboy are the best. With the story of the cheating garage owner coming in third. The fourth story of the junkie movie star is a bit too serious and sweet at times to fit in with the rest of the film's laid back comedic and somewhat surreal mood but it's not too jarring with the rest of the film. The actor playing all four roles is Micheal Cote and I honestly think he should get the Peter Seller's award for multiple characters. He's great to watch. You really can't tell it's the same guy in all the roles. Highly recommended for those lonely Saturday nights when you'd rather be going out but would rather not go through what these guys went through.

You have to give Michel Côté credit, this 4 character role is no easy feat, but he pulls it off well in this original comedy. The film could have been trimmed a bit here and there, and the situations get a bit too corny, but all in all it's worth seeing.

Canadians are always wondering what our culture is. Well it's our neighbors to the east, Québec, who create the most unique and diverse films in the country. Their unique style, accent on characters and situations make these Québecois films always a treat to see, with production values mostly top notch. And if you don't understand french, just read the subtitles.

Many people recommended me to see this movie, and I still don't understand why! I was told that it was not a masterpiece but that it was still an entertaining comedy, so I sat down in front of my TV with that in mind.

I think I must have laughed out loud twice during the whole movie, which is a bad thing for a comedy. I'll simply put it this way: the story and the concept of a single actor doing the four main roles were very interesting, and the main actor was pretty good, but the situations in which the characters had to go through were, for the most, not funny nor original. Some things were also very predictable and some scenes just lasted too long for what they had to show.
