3 amis
2007 Comedy
Review
Michel Boujenah’s follow up to his popular directorial debut feature Père
et fils (2003) is this engaging but pretty insubstantial
portrait of middle-age comradeship, viewed from a slightly cynical
angle. Despite an attractive cast of highly talented performers,
which includes Philippe Noiret in his all-to-brief final film
appearance, 3 amis fails to
make much of an impact. The situations are banal, the comedy
predictable, the storyline bland and routine. Unlike in
Boujenah’s likeable first film, the characters are thinly drawn
stereotypes, although the three principals do their absolute best to
make it work and succeed in squeezing a few laughs out of a mediocre
screenplay.
