Brice de Nice

The beginning of BRICE DE NICE is very funny, colorful and lively. It's very ridiculous but that's what makes it so funny. But once the "story" kicks in (father looses his money, Brice needs to find a job and live in the real world), the film falls apart and never recovers. There are a few interesting bits here and there but 80% of the film is almost unwatchable. It's so forced, trite and unfunny that it makes me wonder who created the first 20%.

The concept of BRICE DE NICE is not that different than one of those Saturday Night Live sketches and making a whole movie out of this wacky character was probably overkill when a short film or TV episode would have been sufficient.

I give the beginning an 8 but the rest of the movie a 1...cassé!

i found this movie to be excellent. naturally it is absolutely ludicrous and one can argue about the character not being realistic, but then it is a comedy. yet 1) i think it helps quite a lot if one has seen point break and can appreciate the notion of surfing and it being an ideology, a way of life to extract even more fun out of Brice. besides there are plenty of allusions to point break which you will miss or not regard as funny if you have never seen point break.

2) try to watch the movie in french (with subtitles if needed) and not as a synchronized version. i briefly checked out the German dubbing and it was horrible. a lot of the jokes are based on puns etc. and e.g. the "German Brice" came off as having a completely different attitude than the "French Brice"

all in all...a good, fun movie

I had a great time watching this movie. Why? Simply because when I got out of the screening, I felt full of energy and i had a smile on my face. You can't say this from a lot of comedies, let alone movies of course.

There is no shame in making comedies. I don't understand why a movie should always be dramatic or convey a message. In a way, it has its own weird kind of humor just like the Monty Python had their own weird kind of humor. If you don't feel like watching this kind of movies, just don't go, you won't like it! If you're ready to experience a genuine weird French humor. Try it, you may love it!

It's no wonder people left the room at the movies after 20 minutes of this. This is the worst movie ever. The few parts that MIGHT have been funny were all recycled from his previous sketches. There's no real story to speak of, though the movie tries to convince you that there is some psychology at work. You can tell the parts that were supposed to be funny but failed miserably. First you will wonder why you don't understand what the heck is happening, then you'll realize that there's nothing to understand, I feel sorry for anyone who saw this at the movies. Worst movie ever. Ever.

Ever.

BRICE DE RICE!!!!11!11!11!1!

WOW DIS MOVIE IS GREAT OR SUTIN

But really, I quite enjoyed the inner psychology of the film. There were many underlying themes of denial, class warfare, and nature. I can completely relate to Brice's wild nature. When I was young, my brother and I split gasoline in the shape on a pentagon on one of my friend's yards. And then we set it on fire. It was something I really feel Brice would do.

I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who can't find their way in life. This movie is for you. Forget the bad reviews. Those were the reviews of people who are either 1: rich or 2: ignorant.

I love Jean Dujardin. It was a mistake for him to do The Artist. His voice needs to be heard. "My pleasure?" Is that really all he can say in a silent film?

BRICE DE RICE FOREVER.
