Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
fredthehatter Many people wrote good reviews about this movie but there is more about it.About the title, it's not in french because serial killer is as much used as "tueur en série" and "amoureuse en série" doesn't make as much sense as serial lover. "Serial" anything is associated with serial killers for french people.Michèle Laroque's performance is outstanding but there is more, many actors known as "les robins des bois" play on this movie and add their own touch of absurdity.There is also albert dupontel, he is an actor at first and he's also a director nowadays, if you like this comedy, you should try his movies as well.I hope you all enjoyed this movie as much as me, i just discovered that gem and i'm happy to know there is still amazing movies to discover from my own country and all over the world.
kosmasp Pretty silly and pretty absurd indeed. Just great (bloody) fun. A dark comedy that does not take itself too serious. That's also something that could be criticized of course and depending on your taste or mood you will just do that. Hopefully though you can enjoy it as much as I and some other people did.Actually I'm surprised that there hasn't been an US Remake of this (though it seems that there is a South Korean movie/remake). The pace is pretty good, the jokes come pretty quickly, so you don't too much time to think things through. And again, this is not a movie, that is grounded in Reality. It's supposed to be a fun ride, that is there for those who are not easily offended and/or faint hearted!
Seth What happens if a women (bestseller krimi writer) decide to invite all her boyfriends, for a dinner, to choose a husband? All four knows that they become opponents, and to get the desired women they might hurt each other. I guessed this will be the outcome. But movie makers have a bigger fantasy. Claire, the heroine, (no not the drug) kills them one by one. Accidents happen all the time, but so fatal ones! So funny that hurts! Than the police arrives in the figure of the usual police duo: a small stupid, and the tall ice cold look detective. When the police left arrives the party, with all components of it: dancing men and women, most of them drunken, or in a deep depression. They find the dead grooms, but don't discover them. After the party comes to an end, the two robbers arrive. Than the detectives back.The movie ends with a good outcome, you think. The dead bodies disappear and everybody goes home, police leave, ST as the robbers. But than comes the last twist the last joke not to forget the beginning.So go to the video store and enjoy!
Schmoffi I saw this movie as a "Sneak Preview", where the audience did not know which movie would be shown; a lot of people left during the first half, but those who stayed seemed to have quite a lot of fun (I did). If you are offended by the Monty-Python kind of blood and gore, you probably shouldn't see it.The movie starts with Claire accidentally murdering four men, her former fiance acute;s; this takes place in various bizarre ways (one of the guys spends most of the time with the blade of an ice skate sticking in his head, after being strangled with a telephone cord). For the rest of the time, she is occupied covering her deeds, and coping with the dozens of party guests her sister pops up with, always on the brink of breaking down.After 15 Minutes I thought it couldn't possibly go on at that pace, but it did, for the full 90 minutes. If the body count was a bit lower, you would probably employ the term "screwball comedy". If you happen to know "Four Rooms", try to imagine a 90 minute version of the Banderas and Tarantino sequences at double speed, and you'll get the idea.
