The Brice Man (2005)

As Good As It Gets

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Blistering performances.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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.

The beginning of BRICE DE NICE is very funny, colorful and lively. It's very ridiculous but that's what makes it so funny. But once the "story" kicks in (father looses his money, Brice needs to find a job and live in the real world), the film falls apart and never recovers. There are a few interesting bits here and there but 80% of the film is almost unwatchable. It's so forced, trite and unfunny that it makes me wonder who created the first 20%.The concept of BRICE DE NICE is not that different than one of those Saturday Night Live sketches and making a whole movie out of this wacky character was probably overkill when a short film or TV episode would have been sufficient.I give the beginning an 8 but the rest of the movie a 1...cassé!

Great value if you want to be truly bewildered. However it just doesn't make ANY sense. At ANY point during the entire film. Maybe I just don't get the humour but this film seems to have been written by a thousand stoned monkeys sitting at a thousand typewriters then edited by a committee of mentally stunted twelve year old boys. From France. Nuff said. SPOILERS I don't know where to start; the odd 'axe' competitions, the guy with toes where his feet should be, the songs, EVERYTHING Brice says. Awful. Just awful. In fact so awful its brilliant. I didn't' know whether to give it 1 or 10. but now its over I need a good long lie down far away from anything yellow.

It's no wonder people left the room at the movies after 20 minutes of this. This is the worst movie ever. The few parts that MIGHT have been funny were all recycled from his previous sketches. There's no real story to speak of, though the movie tries to convince you that there is some psychology at work. You can tell the parts that were supposed to be funny but failed miserably. First you will wonder why you don't understand what the heck is happening, then you'll realize that there's nothing to understand, I feel sorry for anyone who saw this at the movies. Worst movie ever. Ever.Ever.
