One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Well, i have watched this movie for 3 reasons : Geraldine, Dujardin & Alexandra, Las Vegas. For every reason, it was a disappointment. Geraldine has less than 1 minute of appearance ; Chouchou & Loulou are an old grumpy couple that recalls Cruise and Kidman in Kubrick's movie. Las Vegas segment is a total failure: we can't really cruise the sin city as they stay in their hotel room. And the fact that the movie uses the same "showgirls" frame for Cheetah Club doesn't change anything!Beyond that, the movie is dumb and stupid (especially the end) as it mixes the macho vulgarity for fun with the most depressive drama. The idea to have the same actors doing plenty of characters is rather original but my binary mind can't laugh and cry in the same time ! In other words, they should have choose one tone (eeither comedy, either drama) and stick with this !

Sex, French-style. Several vignettes, some long, some short, some no more than sketches, some better than others, some serious, most not so serious, "The Players" is about infidelity and stars the always reliable, indeed reliably marvelous Jean Dujardin and Gallic Liam Neeson lookalike Gilles Lellouche, each playing several roles, mostly as boorish, over-sexed males getting their rocks off with any female in sight and ultimately with each other. For the most part this is a fun film and, despite having several different directors, is much better than it has any right to be. It certainly shows Dujardin off to good effect and proves, once and for all, that his Oscar wasn't a one-hit-wonder.

this film is actually very hollow to portray two sexual driven french guys whose only desire was to fornicate any average pretty woman they encountered any time and any place. they both were married but simply couldn't keep their zippers up. they were night prowlers in all the nightclubs or even in the daytime attending seminars. there were so many unnecessary ugly sexual intercourse scenes that only the wild monkeys would do. the whole movie was trying to categorize itself in the comedy genre but not even one moment you'd have a feeling to smile or laugh. if you think it's drama, then it was too shallow. two guys were prescribed by the screenplay as two attractive males to women, but with these two casting, only the movie by itself could make them attractive to women. they were just average males with average looks, yet the script endowed one of them so popular with women and most of time he could score, while the other usually by passed by most women. this is a very pathetic movie that was so tasteless and boring to the extreme. and i really don't know what made this screenplay to be approved into production. there's no purpose at all to have another pointless movies churned out from the french movie industries. the investors who invested on this shallow movie simply lost more than the movie goers who just wasted a few bucks. a movie you shouldn't go to theater to watch, not even worth renting the DVD.

This is not an exceptional film. Its main quality, besides the good acting, is to explore the theme of infidelity in a manner not "socially correct". This is a movie with several skits(7 or 8) some very short, others more substantial. The characters are excessive, lovable, sympathetic or repelling, comic or depressing ...It is sometimes quite realistic, sometimes more fantastic or surrealistic, but we can find a little bit of ourself in those situations or characters.The acting is OK, and Dujardin Lellouche are excellent.A good time to spend, not necessarily with a square, except if you want to help him loosen up.
