CGiii Comment

Rude! Everyone is so rude and wound up...and, dumped.

The daftness is centred around one fantastic comedic performance by Baptiste Carrion-Weiss...played strictly not for laughs - yet it is hysterically awkward.

The music will make you dance, the film will leave you with a great big smile smeared across your face. Loved it.
