Divorce Club

A fairly striving French film with a likeable idea, but it sticks "only" to a decent average and doesn't really surprise. Unfortunately the running time of 110 minutes is a bit too much for the subject matter, if Divorce Club was a bit shorter I wouldn't complain at all. The film is effective in places with its humour, but I can't shake the feeling that the they kept relatively low key and a bolder form would have worked better. France can do better, but with the comedy drought, I guess this one won't offend anyone. (01/22/2023)

A light-hearted French comedy packed with well-known stars. It has a delightfully good idea and crackling humour. After a divorce, the main character meets an old friend who is out of money and moves in with him at a Villa, where he starts a Divorcee Club and the wild ride can begin. It's more amusing than seizure-inducing, but there are a few minor twists and turns, a fine central plot, and likeable actors who make it all move along nicely, and there is plenty of fun. Story 3/5, Action 0/5, Humour 4/5, Violence 0/5, Fun 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 3/5. 7/10. (08/19/2021)
