Lolo Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Caro I liked the freshness of this film. The actors' game is adapted And rather successful: Dany Boon and Julie Delpy are all very pleasant And sympathetic, while Vincent Lacoste still plays The role of the unbearable boy. Good little comedy that begins.The idea of ​​departure is interesting: the bobo that takes of love for A "provincial" in Biarritz, it does not matter if he is not a member of Social circle. However, I found the end disappointing: he Can not succeed modestly in the province, we find it rich Computer engineer at the city ... Bof, we will go back for an analysis and Interesting conclusion, far from the usual stereotypes about the search for happiness.
tambourinist I'm a Julie Delpy fan, "Two days in Paris" is one of my favourite movies of all times. This film, however, is impossible to watch.It's incredibly predictable, the humour is silly and you've seen all the gags in plenty of (bad) films before.The storyline is not credible at all. Even if you're not looking for sophisticated humour, just want some slapstick laughs, this film is simply not very funny. I watched it in the dubbed version, maybe it's slightly better in the French original, although to be honest, I don't think so, given how bad the storyline and the jokes are.The acting is OK, but it can't save the film.
mamlukman I admit it: I am a Julie Delpy fan. I think she's a genius. This movie proves it.The movie begins with a Julie-Delpy-like barrage of witty talk. (Much like Woody Allen.) Throw in a tuna fish, and you've got a good introduction to what's coming.Throughout the movie she throws in little mini-jokes: some verbal, some visual. If you blink, you missed one. For me, they're the best part of the movie. And for me, this is where she shows her genius: it's relatively easy to come up with some extended routine--lots of movie do that. But to see the latent humor in an everyday action and to make you laugh with a word, a gesture, or an expression, that's amazing and rare.I'm not sure that we need to look for involved psychological analysis here. There may be an opinion about the younger generation, or children, but that's not what this is about. It's about love, and how to find and keep it. And along the way, yes, it's extreme. If it weren't, it would be boring. This is anything but boring.And unlike many movies lately, it has an ending. Extra points for that.
subxerogravity I've seen Lolo before. A young man raised by a single mother does not like it when eligible suitors comes sniffing around his MILF. So when a IT tech becomes his mother's love interest, Lolo stops at nothing to break these two apart. The french version of this story starts out as just a young man talking crap to convince his mom that this man is not right for her. Then it escalates to the extreme when Lolo makes The IT tech his victim. That's were the comedy comes it as well.It's not different from an American comedy in how it escalates, except that the this french film realizes it does not need to got too over the top with the comedy to be laugh out loud funny. If you ever seen such movie as Cyrus or Mr. Woodcock than you'll like this movie. It's the same style of comedy. One exception is the focus on the perspective of Julie Delpy's character, Violette, a 40 year old woman who still in the dating game looking for love. I seen the movie done from Lolo's perspective as the selfish son who will do anything to keep the cord attached to his mother, and I've seen it from Jean-René's perceptive as a man dating a woman too good to be true, and then discovers she got some baggage she loves too much too see as baggage. Violette's view does bring some freshness to the movie.It was a subtle comedy, at least by American standards, but it is very effective.
