It starts by ok jokes that are a bit easy and cliché, and you think that it will be hard to bear it until the end.

Well it keeps going on, but surprisingly there is an actual scenario with a developing story, and several characters being developed correctly and having their own storylines, to the point I was a bit disappointed when it stopped. Movie ended a bit abruptly, I was genuinely interested in what happens next, but clearly the coming [spoiler]war[/spoiler] would probably have needed a complete change of the movie tone if it kept going and it could not have worked. Well, it would have been really hard to make it work while keeping the funny vibe, and I don't think they could have pulled it off. So stopping was a good choice.

As jokes go, there are some really good punchlines here and there. There are also pretty bad ones though.

Even if it globally works, I can't say it's great quality either, there are a lot of storylines that are really great ideas, but they serve one or two medium jokes and then are dropped. For instance Maeva [spoiler]believing she's in a tv show[/spoiler], didn't see that one coming. Great idea. But apart from the discovery itself, instead of being exploited, it basically only serves as away to push, repeatedly a "joke" about Victor trying to have sex with her. There was so much to do with it, and it's a bit of a letdown.
By the way, all sex related jokes are a bit cringe and fall flat.

One reason might be that even if several characters are correctly exploited, Jeanne, Victor's wife is inexistent. She's the whole reason they're here, in the first minutes there are suggestions that there could have been something between her and Jean-Paul, then... nothing.
No story, no major event, she barely even speaks. This is weird.

In general several other jokes and storylines fell like they could have either been pushed a bit more, or used more dynamically.

Usually in this kind of movie, there's an underlying positive social message. Here, not really. Most jokes feel like they're supposed to be first degree, like a serious what would be called anti-woke message these days. For instance they inevitably recreate society's inequalities with Simon on one side and Claude on the other. There is a possibility of doing something with this. But here, Simon is [spoiler]a 100% self made hard working guy, that did everything by himself on his smarts and work, also a philanthropist that actually share his wealth with the community, with on top of that the rest losing everything because of their jealousy[/spoiler], this is a highly distorted right wing representation of the role of wealth in today's society. However, even if generally right wing humour is a bit unbalanced, since it's often punching down instead of up, the fact that the movie still mostl
y manages to make it work deserves credit.
