Saturday night disaster

With such works as "disco" ,the French comedy hits rock bottom.A very poor screenplay which accumulates all the clichés ;best example:of course the hero is a divorcée .You can see what the characters are up to a mile off : the hero takes dancing lessons;of course the teacher is a babe (Emmanuelle Béart) ;of course the hero .... ..They have a disco dance contest ;of course the hero...I've always thought Depardieu was a limited overrated actor and it's not this movie which will make me change my mind.As for Dubosc,as I cannot say something nice....

It's nice to see Annie Cordy again ,even in a small part.Fans of singer Francis Lalanne,watch out:he has a cameo.A stupid one .

Nostalgia is not what it used to be.One can save ,at a pinch,two scenes: Dubosc trying to open his suitcase and the "exam" his pal takes.
