This movie belongs to the kind that organizes the world around a very strange character : so Brice is a bit like Pee-Wee as he is inhabited and driven by his insane passion for surf. So the beginning of the movie when it's about meeting this character is indeed fun. But next, there is really no more story as his daily life is chattered and it takes long minutes to find a new direction : winning the surf contest for his new buddy ! But then, the movie lacks production and inspiration as we have really no feeling to be at a beach ! It's faraway of having a summer or vacation fun and Brice starts to be annoying as he tells the same jokes since one hour now ! The romance between his pal and the girl is pretty stupid as much as Cornillac is really a poor actor ! I rent the movie too because Alex was on the credits but she has nearly no screen time ! To resume, as the character was originally just a sketch, it should have been stayed like this because a movie is not about a such little fun moment !

BRICE DE RICE!!!!11!11!11!1!WOW DIS MOVIE IS GREAT OR SUTINBut really, I quite enjoyed the inner psychology of the film. There were many underlying themes of denial, class warfare, and nature. I can completely relate to Brice's wild nature. When I was young, my brother and I split gasoline in the shape on a pentagon on one of my friend's yards. And then we set it on fire. It was something I really feel Brice would do.I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who can't find their way in life. This movie is for you. Forget the bad reviews. Those were the reviews of people who are either 1: rich or 2: ignorant.I love Jean Dujardin. It was a mistake for him to do The Artist. His voice needs to be heard. "My pleasure?" Is that really all he can say in a silent film?BRICE DE RICE FOREVER.

This movie was awful. I mean I thought since it was a foreign film it would be good. I guess we can't judge before we know. Seriously, what was with those annoying songs? Especially that one where it went give me the tax. Come on, get some better lyrics. I couldn't stand his personality. It was way to cocky and superficial. Well, I didn't enjoy that movie, very disappointed by its soundtrack. Oh, and another thing what was with that odd relationship with that guy with the feet and the girl with the ears. I just thought this movies was really ridiculous for my taste. It wasn't that funny in my opinion. Just really, really, annoying. People should really learn when to stop in movies. Sometimes they just take it way to far, where there is a bridge of comedy and way to far where it just hits the point of stupidity and annoyance.

i found this movie to be excellent. naturally it is absolutely ludicrous and one can argue about the character not being realistic, but then it is a comedy. yet 1) i think it helps quite a lot if one has seen point break and can appreciate the notion of surfing and it being an ideology, a way of life to extract even more fun out of Brice. besides there are plenty of allusions to point break which you will miss or not regard as funny if you have never seen point break.2) try to watch the movie in french (with subtitles if needed) and not as a synchronized version. i briefly checked out the German dubbing and it was horrible. a lot of the jokes are based on puns etc. and e.g. the "German Brice" came off as having a completely different attitude than the "French Brice"all in all...a good, fun movie
