Michel Uzès, a man in his forties, is arrested during his trip to Denmark. He is suspected by the police to be Paul Bernardin, a wanted murderer accused of killing his wife and three children a few years ago. While Uzès maintains that he is innocent, two amateur detectives -- Léa and Christine, set out to conduct their own investigation. Meanwhile, in Argentina, a Frenchman in his forties with a mysterious past celebrates his wedding with his pretty, young fiancée.

It's a black comedy that is not for the squeamish or the easily offended. It is very, very French.

3/5

Like fellow Frenchman Quentin Dupieux, Meurisse has an enjoyably devil-may-care attitude for the most part although he feels almost like Dupieux’s evil twin as he begins to stray, first, into Farrelly Brothers’ territory, then something more violent.

5/10

The film is undeniably drenched with potential. However, Meurisse leisurely settles for the surface level. In coincidence with the film’s boorish visual language, “Plastic Guns” amateurishly illuminates its euphoric themes with haphazard execution.

It’s a painfully unfunny comedy full of stupid, unpleasant people doing ugly things. Indeed, the only thing Meurisse holds in more contempt than his characters is his audience.

3/5

Plastic Guns is one of those movies that require complicity, giving into delirium and not asking for too much coherence, plausibility, or depth. Within that playful and carefree spirit, the formula works. [Full review in Spanish]
