This is a very funny movie with a lot of heart.

It has wonderfully quirky characters, and some of the scenes are just hilarious.

I happened to pick this up used on DVD on one of my trips to Montreal.

Quebec has a big film industry, and some of their films are gems, like this one.

We Americans don't get a chance to see Quebecois films, which is a shame.

If you can find this online for rent, or purchase- watch it. It really is a good film.

Two agents, not at all friends, are trying to get a singer to make a comeback. They reach him in a small town in the beautiful Charlevoix region in Quebec, Canada. I went to see this movie mainly because of the beautiful and talented Annick Lemay. What a surprise! I laughed out loud in the cinema, that rarely happens to me. The story is very funny, the acting is superb. Julie McClemens is usually seen in dramatic roles, in this film she shows incredible talent for comedy. The scenery is so beautiful that you think to visit the Charlevoix region on your next vacation. I also liked the music. Stefie Shock's song " Ange gardien" should be a hit, the rhythm and the lyrics just stay in your head long after the screening. Go see this movie and have a great laugh.
