La Boum 2

This was the first movie I saw at the movies. I fell in love with Sophie and Pierre. It was one of the first teenager movies of its kind in Germany (La Boum was the first one). It is very funny! I recommend the movie to anyone, especially young people. It's about first love and the chaos of dealing with one's family.

I saw this movie when it came out and i have to say that I totally identified with Sophie Marceau`s Character. It`s about "Teenager Problems" like falling in love for the first time and having to beg to go to a party. I think it`s a movie EVERY teenager can identify with!

I had a good time watching it. I traveled back to those times. J'aime cette actresse et la musique bien sure!

So I enjoyed it mostly but it feels kind of like the first movie. Teenagers going to party at other people's houses and have fun. But I wished there was a new turn in the narrative. Also it may have been cool if the movie would have taken place right after the first movie ended. To see what happens to the character viq, but after all I enjoyed it.

After over 20 years, I can say that I do miss this type of coming of age film (Breaking Away, My Bodyguard, 400 Blows) done before the modern age of jaded irony & cynicism. It's for those old enough to miss the young subjects of Truffaut, only without the melancholy. Even the cheesy but sprightly tunes invite nostalgia. Like Bardot before Marceau, her precocious innocence here holds up against French frankness. Sophie has yet to recapture the same appeal even after limited exposure to her more grown-up international efforts (Braveheart, 007), even Lambert Wilson's mature exposure (Matrix Reloaded, Catwoman) come off now as well, ironic & cynical.
