Synopsis

JC is the perfect example of a certain kind of Belgian: show-off, loud-mouth, Mr Know-It-All. As he can only see his dream of a beautiful life on a sunny beach through a travel agency window, he makes do with preaching at everyone else. Fortunately, JC is also funny, touching and emotional – and an ace ladykiller, which is not the case with Stef, his lifelong friend. While jokes, sex, fights and, let’s be honest, stealing cars are JC’s daily fun, Stef’s permanent good mood is merely a façade hiding his existential unease. JC’s unexpected encounter with Natacha, a beautiful adventuress, in a merc’s trunk is turning point for the two pals. Then begins a picaresque voyage in today’s Belgium inhabited by characters each more crazy than the last.

Marion Cotillard's role

She plays Nadine - a teacher. However, like the rest of the film's characters she's nothing but normal. During an educational trip to some kind of museum with her students she literally shows the kids what people look like after a car accident. Or the scene where she's supposedly doing drug prevention with the kids is just hilarious. In her free time Nadine is falling for Greg - an unexpected match.

Personal Comments

With comedies such as this I feel if you live in another part of the world and most importantly speak another language you won't be able to get it. At least that was the case for me with this film. It was nice to see Marion Cotillard in a different role: as a teacher freaking out the kids and kind of losing it in her free time. As far as I could tell she has perfect comic timing but also brings emotional depth to the character as the film moves on.
