Budapest

It's almost a shame that Xavier Gens seems to have to resort to making movies like this. On the other hand maybe he actually chose this. Whatever the case this feels like a Spring Break movie for adults. It of course has other things to offer but in its heart or in a nutshell this is it.

Now Budapest may be a party city, Jerusalem is for sure, but one of the reasons they probably chose it, is because it is cheap to shoot there. Eastern Europe is a welcome region for many movies, because you have knowledgeble film people/technicians there, but also do not have to spend too much money making a movie there. Something they used here - including some rumors or prejudices we may have about the city I reckon ... you can have fun with this as with many other movies, but you have to be in the right mind set

Budapest does a nice French spin on movies like The Hangover. It made me laugh, so for me it is a good comedy. The ending ruins it though. The film ends up another tale of men needing to be 'tamed' by their wives. Also, the writers have been trying a bit too hard convincing their boss they have never used any drugs, as that xtc bit is Just ridiculous. Overall it's a fine comedy for when you want to laugh and not think too much

What is a clue of this movie? Promotion of what?

I like nice french comedies... but this one is a trash.

Don't even waste your time to watch it? It s so WASTED TIME!

There was 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments but at best it was watchable it's wasn't boring as such but unoriginal and nothing new to the scene watching dubbed in English I do wonder if some of it was lost in translation also as most fell flat. Could have been a lot worse however.

They're trying so hard to be funny that it becomes painful to watch. I'm French and I'm ashamed that such terrible French movies are available on Netflix, when other good comedies are not. I gave it a 2, but could as well been a 1 or no star at all.
