It’s debatable whether the world needs another comedy about a babyish bloke having a midlife crisis, but this example is far from the worst
Alexandre (director Alex Lutz) is 35 years old, has a solid if boring job in insurance, a cool if slightly neurotic wife (Anne Marivin), and a loyal if dim best friend named Jeff (Bruno Sanches). But when he reconnects with Thibault (Tom Dingler), another old friend who is now a life coach preaching that people should pursue their dreams however ridiculous they are, Alexandre decides to put everything at risk, including his marriage and friendship with Jeff, to become a singer. The world probably doesn’t really need another film about babyish blokes having midlife crises, lashings of voiceover and a semi-serious scene filmed at a kids’ party so that silly hats can be deployed ironically, but if you like that sort of thing, this specimen isn’t half bad.
