My first encounter with Philippe Lacheau's work turned out to be a solid four-star experience. Alibi.com is a bit naive and goofy at times, but it's a delightfully funny French comedy. It gave me hope that French comedies might still have a lot to offer.

Philippe Lacheau as director, writer and actor for the third time and once again excellent. The actors are exactly the same as in his previous films, and it's great to see a bunch of friends who really like each other and go crazy together in the movies. The premise is very original, there are plenty of funny situations, more than enough twists and turns, but overall it's one big crazy adrenaline ride that doesn't pull any punches. Quite possibly the funniest comedy of the year and the French rock again. 95%

A good French comedy that manages to captivate with a story that is not really original - but not badly conceived. Yet it also manages to captivate with individual gags, where sometimes it is surprising how it is quite harsh and how slapstick is used here, although it is modern rather than classic. The humor works well but the romance is a little uninteresting towards the end.

Much to my surprise, it was oddly entertaining. The plot worked quite well, and in the moments when I, a person used to standard American romcoms, expected melodrama, the sneaky French served me some more comedy. I was considering a 3*+ rating all along, but the great tributes to other films as well as the awesome reference to “Assassin's Creed” made me give a fourth star.
