A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
What more could you want? Hot chicks, a strong storyline and plenty of laughs. The English subtitles are very faithful to the French dialogue and display the subtle, but keen, witticism of French cinema. We bought the video several years ago and have since lent it to dozens of people, all of whom have loved it. And with some absolute classic one liners, who wouldn't?! Seldom does queer film successfully mix humour with poignant truths about the reality of being gay, but Pourqoui pas moi is a rare exception. This film is for all those poofs and dykes out there struggling for acceptance, and anyone else who knows what it's like not to fit in to the love/live mould. It well deserves a 10/10 rating.
I saw some more or less recent comedies about sexual choices, homosexuality, coming out... This one maybe the best since ages, because the acting is all right, because the casting is full of surprises (Johnny Halliday - the french Elvis (?) -, Elli Meideros - punk star of the eighties, Marie-France Pisier, and lots of young actors I didn't knew), because it's never heavy,... Worth seeing, to say it in the simplest way.
What an unexpected gem! This film is hilarious! It falls in that very rare "laughter hangover" category ... films that make you laugh so much that you wake up the next morning with an aching gut.Terrific cast! Tremendous performances!The cinematography and blocking are also fantastic. A variety of unique visual techniques are ingeniously employed, serving to underscore dramatic tensions and to heighten comedic effect.Brilliant!
This film deals with coming out, with fun but not in an idealistc world. Lesbians and gays are not pointed out as some people living alone but just as people in love. At the end of the day, is just about love and being yourself.. .
