Comedy middling on the radio theme About radio hosts and radio station made a lot of good and not so films, there were dramas, comedies, and drama, in general – all sorts of things. The director of this picture, Romaine Levy, is an average screenwriter, who gives out very average French comedies from time to time - you can not call them good, and you can not write down, in general, middle-class ones, in a definitely bad one. The directorial debut turned out exactly the same - especially since he himself had a hand in the script. I thought Levy wanted to do something like Rock Wave (2009), both cool and very funny. But skill was lacking. Over the dish. To joke rudely, you also need taste, and there are plenty of scabby jokes and very tough relationships in the team, where everyone is used to teasing each other, but these jokes are evil and aggressive, and clearly cross the line. The story is not very interesting.
The stand-up loser (he's afraid of the scene, as we learn in the course of the plot) comes to France to be hired as a writer and comedian for the country's number one radio station. However, after a couple of weeks, after a serious banquet, when the morning air is a single stutter, the radio station becomes number two. And instead of a summer vacation, the program director sends all employees on a promotional tour of the cities and villages of the country, where they should once again win the audience and become number one.
Unfortunately, instead of the adult humor of "Rock Waves", the author got a semblance of a teenage comedy with adult actors. This showdown, who fucked whom and when, and revenge on “Hitler in a skirt” by the Jew Ben, and jokes on the same level. Watching quarrels and squabbles in the team, however, is sometimes very funny. It is also interesting whether the main character Ben will fit into the team, or will remain out of business. I must say, I honestly didn’t fit in at the time, and I realized that radio was not my thing. Writing jokes for someone to say instead of me is not my job. I, like the main character, was hampered by a too thin nervous system – well, I can’t cope with live TV when I realize that millions listen to me. And now, after many years, I hardly could. So I sat down for a while in the correspondent department, reporting on the tape. Would you agree, isn't that interesting? That's why I left in my time, giving radio a couple of years of my life.
Amusingly, Levy also portrayed a French rapper and his relationship with his girlfriend. Our Russian rapper Timothy probably doesn't mess at all. Otherwise, why does he gently talk about his half, instead of scolding her with the last words?
Well played Clovis Korniyak, master of ether, who gave this profession 15 years of life. He's good everywhere, though. Great actor.
In general, summing up, Romaine Levy takes on directing or only writes the script, it turns out the same - the average for an amateur. You can see it. If you don’t see this movie, you won’t lose anything. But the mentioned "Rock Wave", of course, you must watch - this is already a cult film.
