Alibi.com

The plot of the movie is really funny, but is it really not a tendency to abuse animals? Poor dog is always thrown out.

My family and I have always trusted in french cinema as one of the bests. Yesterday, after watching 'Dunkirk', we entered to see this one. We had already seen the trailer, and our expectations were high for this to be absolutely entertaining.

But the thing about Alibi.com is that it isn't only entertaining, but it is hilarious as hell! Really, I wasn't expecting its tones of dark humor/slapstick present throughout the movie. It probably was because the movie, according to the cinema were I saw it, was rated B (which in Mexico it's like PG-13). And well, I wouldn't think of it as a movie suitable for pre-teens, or for children.

7/10. It is absurd, silly and stupid at times, but believe, that is exactly the reason of seeing this nice french flick.

Enjoy!

The crew of this movie was wonderful when they didn't have mainstream success. They were original and hilarious. See Babysitting. Since then, apart from the movie "Nicky Larson" that was great but maybe mainly because of the nostalgia, they just do movies after movies trying to get the art they once had. It happens when genuine people get rich too quick I guess... Now they just want to show off, invite the most inexpensive and once famous guys in their movie to do as mainstream industry does and lost almost all their genuine comedy talent (a lot of scenes describe that, but one in the first part of the movie resume everything: the main actor and director dance with ridiculous glasses in an old music miming slapstick comedy, but showing every muscle he can...). If they could show more iphones on the first plan, I'm sure they would. Finally, Almost all jokes are recycled... Don't get me wrong, there is moment where you're gonna laugh, mainly if you've never seen one of their movies. For me, the crew lost themselves on too much champagne. I rate it 5 because I'm confident that if you don't know the crew, you will enjoy this title more than me.

And love.com come to think of it. What would romantic comedies be if they weren't predictable ... at least a little bit. But that is not why we watch them. Sometimes we are forced (by our significant other, our mood and so forth), sometimes we just need them to feel better.

What always helps are charismatic leads and a funny story/script. Well I can attest that both are present here. This is funny and while you can see where it goes the minute it starts, there are moments that will catch you by surprise ... like many scenes with the dog ... or the ending! Which I kind of knew what it was while it played out, but it is fun to see how it resolved and ... revealed! Very fine little movie for a good time, with a few darker jokes to boost.

I loved it it was funny and the actors are great ! For me it's what a comedy should be
