Bon plan
2000 Comedy / Drama
Review
Jérôme Lévy’s first full-length film as a director is this spirited
but largely predictable youth-comedy road-movie. With her exuberant personality,
Ludivine Sagnier outshines all her fellow actors (including Roland Giraud and Thierry
Lhermitte), and her presence is the main reason for watching the film. Whilst there
are a few very funny comic situations, the film rarely departs from the familiar stereotypes
and is hampered by a plodding script laden with clichéd dialogue. It’s
all well-intended fun and does succeed in getting a few decent laughs, but it does look
a bit like a lost relic from an earlier decade.

One summer, Five French students decide to hike their way across Europe, the aim being
to visit 15 great cities without falling out. Their plans soon start to go awry
at their first destination, Amsterdam. Here, they run into a former schoolteacher,
Wagner, who, having come out of the closet, begins to show an amorous interest in the
most sensitive member of the ensemble, Lionel. Bruno, the self-elected leader
of the group, steers them to their next destination, Bologna, where the friends gets invited
to a rave party, again with unpleasant results. When Bruno is ditched by his girlfriend,
the girls head for Greece, to stay with a stranger named Knut – who proves to be
stranger (and a bigger Knut) than they had imagined. Convinced the girls are
in danger, Bruno and Lionel hurry to their rescue, but discover they have no money for
the trip…
