Audience Member Gad Elmaleh reprises his role of Chouchou the transgender in this funny comedy. It's not his best film but it's pretty ok to watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member quelques bon dialogues mais trop lourd Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Drôle et sympa. Léger. Pour 4$ le DVD, c'est pas un mauvais achat, c'est rigolo et innovateur. Quelques moments croustillants. On ne voit pas de longueurs ni le temps passer. Pour cette raison, ça mérite une note de 3/5, ce qui est bien. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty funny. Gad Elmaleh is a very good comedy actor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Une comà (C)die sans prà (C)tention, qui use souvent de facilità (C)s comiques affligeantes voire ridicules (sushi qui gigote, apparition de la Vierge Marie...) et d'un scà (C)nario assez restreint. Mais on peut reconnaà (R)tre à Chouchou d'avoir des comà (C)diens impliquà (C)s dans leur rôle ainsi que quelques trouvailles comiques. Juste drôle et même parfois touchant..au minimum. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Il parait que ca devait etre un film comique! Pourtant j'aime bien Gad Elmaleh...
