Five

Five long-time friends decide to live in shared accommodations in a wealthy district of Paris. Even if the directing and editing seem quite good with nice images, the script is based on total vacuity with lack of ethics and mere stereotypes. The black guy comes down to his sexual performance and nicely follows his friends without talking too much. The girl has the deep broken voice of someone with lots of certainty. Also, the young wealthy boy has an absent father rich to millions, studies in theaters and can afford everything at the beginning. Since they are young folks in Paris, everything is allowed as long as they have fun no matter for ethics and others. Everything about academics sport, spirituality, knowledges and activities is skipped, as it is obviously not interesting. It could have been an apology to friendship but even that seem fake and not so solid between them. Globally, this movie is on young middle-class people who are lost in their narrow-minded mediocrity

This movie just has great performers and images, some good jokes but that's about all.

The script is poor and uninteresting, the dialogues are either very vulgar or childish, awkwards. All along you'll find microwave reheated scenes from previous movies of the same genre (but better made), predictable scenes, passages that are making the viewer feel just so uncomfortable because of their insanity, mediocrity, cliché or non sens. François Civil and Pierre Niney are tremendous actors that are not serving a good cause here. The few points are made with some key moments where the trick actually work and we laugh. I had to force myselft to finish it anyways, and I think a 4 is pretty generous.

I wanted to give this five but honestly I am being generous giving it 4. Five irritating losers that almost get into trouble but don't. End movie. Really?

'Five' is a fun french movie. These 5 best friends who want to live together encounter many issues. To fix it they are laying together and playing with drugs. They make their problems worse during all the movie. But many comic scenes alternates with more tragic scenes. Each characters are very different but complementary. Actors are well playing and roles are well dispatched. I found some nice shoots (first person) and smart transition. Music is dynamics with lively beats. It is not the movie of the year but it is fun because without limit. I advice to parents to do not show the movie to their children because it contains nude scenes and drug apology.

We absolutely loved the movie. Great, funny story, brilliant acting. Hilarious moments! We rolled in tears of laughter. Light, uplifting, original and entertaining. We absolutely loved it.
