plot : Driving around for paternity's sake.
thought : Boring with a capital "Bill Murray."
(I really like Bill Murray. I do. But why is he always looking so sad and wearing track suits these days ?)
Overall rating : 1.5/5

GOMEZ VS. TAVAREZ
http://www.snd-films.com/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=51899.html
plot : BAD BOYS à la française !
thought : I.E., the jokes make less sense.
The film starts like FAST AND THE FURIOUS, with a drag race. The music is (bad) American rap, the ladies where short skirts and heels, things blow up--gratuitously--and the two buddy cops are minorities--well, one of them anyway. Okay, they're French enough, but their names are Gomez and Tavarez...come on.
Well, the story of GOMEZ VS. TAVAREZ, the sequel to the 2003 film that I missed, GOMEZ ET TAVAREZ, is basically BAD BOYS, with a cutie named Titoff playing the part of Max Tavarez (the lighter minority cop) and the stoic-faced Stomy BUGSY playing the part of Gomez (the darker minority cop). With Noémie LENOIR as our principal short-skirt-wearing diva (and a couple others playing backup), the movie is a fun ride with a plot looser than bad boys and an ending even more predictable. I say, why not ? It's a pleasure to watch the French act like Americans (and by that, I mean, loud, proud and unsophisticated).
Overall rating : 2.5/5 (but maybe higher, had I understood more of the French jokes ? Judging from spectator comments, maybe not)
