Nouveaux riches

It was my turn to pick a movie tonight so my wife was quite surprised I chose a rom-com, like she seemed to believe Nouveaux Riches (or All Time High for the English title) was. It might be a bit of a romantic comedy but there is fore sure a lot of action and violence so even men like me will like this genre of rom-coms. The violent scenes were nicely choreographed and looked real. The acting from Nassime Lyes and Zoé Maréchal was good and resulted in a nice chemistry between them. I had doubts in the beginning but the movie turned out to be much better than I thought it would be. The French language is mostly slang so subtitles are advised for people not mastering the French street language.

I have not seen such a crazy movie in a really long time. The energy and the pacing is unbelievable, hectic, fight scenes like in a Jackie Chan movie, but more fun. The actors are great, characters somewhat reminiscent of Guy Ritchie's, but with a definite French flair. You might have to slow it down or rewatch some of the scenes, because it is easy to miss stuff in such a fast-paced film. It is hard not to be a fan of those two loveable hustlers and not to root for them to find whatever they're looking for - money, love, a change of fortune and a way out of the everyday fight to scrape together an existence....

When I started to watch I didn't have big expectations, but the story and the jokes are very funny and make the movie unique!

Action , laugh moments and also the characters are well defined and super funny!

Without spoiling the trama there is also a love story behind where a nice message come up at the end of the movie.

I didn't have the feelings at the beginning of such funny and nice movie but I had to change my mind ! I can only suggest this movie...the plot is unique and the time flies between actions , funny moments and a bit of love !

I need to admit that the French comedy are very funny and well done!

I haven't seen such a original movie in a long long time. It had a strange humour for not native French speakers, a love story, some action and gory sequences. The fighting scenes where choreographed in the mood of the movie, when you'll see it you will understand what I'm trying to point out here. The direction was enjoyable and the plot was predictable but generally speaking it served the context of the movie. The two main characters where fantastic in their own way in the context of the film. Nassim Lyes a french upcoming action movie star and he was funny and had all the skills for some spot on action sequences. He was totally unpredictable i would say as a playboy, a pathetic liar and a conman. On the other hand Zoe Marcal role and acting was out of the ordinary for sure. She was funny, rude at times in a beautiful way, charming and had some fighting moves for sure. I hope to see them both in many films in the future. So from me it is a highly recommended film that breaks the ordinary plot which we are familiar with. A must see for sure.

This has got to be the most underrated movie of the year! Though this is classified as a comedy it could easily take an award as romantic comedy, or action comedy. I'm unfamiliar with the actors but was highly entertained by the very natural performances and solid chemistry (it felt like there were some great improve moments) - This is one of those movies where the unfamiliarity allows you to enjoy the character development without the typecasting.

Many a "laugh out loud" scenes, even to the point of tearing up! The comedy was fast paced with refreshingly original concepts.

The movie packs surprisingly tough fighting choreography and action sequences. Loved the Cyril Gane cameo, am wondering if he consulted on the fight scenes? Great to see the MMA/Brazilian jiu-jitsu incorporated.

A brilliant watch, well done to Netflix and Apple for producing some of the best entertainment this year. You won't be disappointed. 10 because this is the best French movie in years.
