Audience Member C'est là qu'on voit que la réalité n'est pas toujours comme on le pense! J'ai bien aimé.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The DVD case had eight palm-type thingies to indicate that movie festivals liked this film. I'm not sure what they liked. Maybe it was a slow year. In spite of my two-star rating, this is not a bad movie. I would have given it three stars had my expectations not been so high. Stupid box. None of the characters are likable. The shy son was annoying and he looks like that Spider Man actor. The father was gross. The mother was a downer. The girlfriend was evil. And the best friend was useless. The only person I didn't hate was the little girl. She was okay. Skip this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Franchement, j'ai trouvé ce film terrible, sur tous les niveaux, que ce soit la réalisation, les acteurs, le scénario... La seule raison pour les quelques étoiles est le personnage principal, qui ressemble a certaines de mes connaissances. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 5 etoiles c'est pas assez... maudit bon film... Serieux Steph, moi j'ai adore! Pour un premier long metrage, c'est super! (J'ai ma copie à la maison, il ne manque plus que ton autographe dessus! hahah ;)) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film interessant qui vaut la pein d'etre vu. Le jeu des acteurs est juste. Il y a des rebondissements qui nous surprennent. Bravo! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member bon cru quebecois, juste un peu tordu...
