Reviews
" After her runaway hit " You're a handsome man! " could the French director Isabelle Mergault score with their second comedy with their home crowd. Less subtly silly because it portrays the chaos of lies and deceit, lust and regret. Nevertheless, the true pitch, convinced the quirky staff and ensemble performance and the comedy comes to the point. "
" The French comedy by director Isabelle Mergault but overused not only the patience of the audience, but also the occasional joke that may elicit more than a smile. "
"Under the whole humor - the sometimes recalls Woody Allen - shimmers [ ... ] always a certain seriousness through, illuminating the explosive social problems in an ironic, sometimes sarcastic manner. This is a clear but only after seeing the film, because while ninety minutes in the cinema hall is one quite this comedy back to harbor no deep thinking. [ ... ] This is because the only weak point of last widow, because sometimes the humor out of hand a little, and there is virtually no dialogue is in this film, which is not designed to be a laughing stock. [ ... ] Nevertheless, convinced at last widow in its entirety and lives life by the French charm that is wonderfully presented mainly by the lover Léo [ ... ] There are also the quirky supporting characters that give the comedy a humorous profundity. [ ... ] The fact that there is really nothing to laugh about in these diseases, is obvious. You do it anyway, and that even without a guilty conscience! "
"Rather crude comedy with caricature drawings milieu and burlesque situations to escalate its tendency to exaggerate sometimes threatened. "
" Commandments gets the Francophile cinema connoisseur here a while sufficiently entertaining, but never really convincing, since ultimately too harmless and at times even a little embarrassing endeavors acting boulevard comedy whose humor, unfortunately, is no longer the freshest. "
"Compared with other French comedies Finally widow joins closer to the shallow, klamaukigen films than with the truly noble comedy classics such as The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe [ ... ] or a beef. One can rather consider a complex, successful TV production the film. However, towards the really completely successful comedies like Welcome to the Sticks he comes not to. Nevertheless promises Finally widow an entertaining movie night with friends. You should just only the right friends for the cinema search. Groups who like to completely caught up a little in laughter, perhaps even after an aperitif, the film should be able to enjoy really good "
