This is just another Boudali-Lacheau smash! I've been following this crew since the beginning of their career and I've seen all of their movies at least five times (each time with someone else) and it's always been a success. It's nice to watch their finances grow and how they keep improving, keeping their tradmarks and the superior quality of their movies better than Marvel and DC combined. The story may be borrowed from elsewhere, but it's very apt for a comedy. The protagonist learns he has 30 days to live, and so begins a zero to hero ride where his confidence soars, he starts taking risks and getting himself out of one crazy situation and into another. Again, there's a bunch of original and crazy ideas where I laughing in tears (no one can deliver such a cadence of gags and skits like these two). The cinematography, actors, music and crazy pacing are also great. Just top of the comedy genre. 85%.

Tarek Boudali, Philippe Lacheau and Julien Arruti have already made countless extremely funny and engaging comedies that for me are some of the best ever and I love coming back to them. That's why it's hard to come up with something even better or equally good, and thus anything less than what we're used to can falsely feel "bad". That is exactly the case here. The film retains the apt humour, the clever story and great main characters, it's just a little less effective than other works. I still had a great time though, the jokes are spot on and I laughed my heart out several times, so the film can still boast a recommendation and pigeonhole itself with the funnier flicks, it's just simply not at the top of Boudali's oeuvre. Weaker four.
