The Couchpotatoes First of all don't believe any of the positive reviews because they come from people involved in this movie or at least that know somebody that was. I do like Benoit Poelvoorde but not in this movie, just because the movie is not good. Benoit Poelvoorde is one of those actors that has good movies, the funny ones, but also a lot of bad movies, and Le Grand Soir is definitely one of the bad ones. Even if you like some Punk music, like I do, this movie is still garbage. The only good thing was the song La Bière from Les Garçons Bouchers, but I could have just listen to my CD instead of enduring this movie. Albert Dupontel plays the frustrated salesman, and he also annoying to watch. If they did one to bring a message about society they didn't achieve anything. This movie is not rebellous at all. A movie to forget about, as soon as possible.

leplatypus You pay and you got nothing in return : it's a french movie and there is no subtitles ! If it was a American movie, you'll get them ! Perharps Canal+ thinks that hard or hearing don't exist in France or that they want only foreign films ??? But for me it's simple : without them, i can't follow a french movie ! However I try as i appreciate Poelvorde and him doing a Punk should be an interesting. Like Lisbeth Salander, it's about being marginal characters and we don't see much of them. In addition, behind are the authors of Guignols and Groland so i should be funny !The first thing i notice is the horrible golden cinematography ! People have awful orange skin, everything seems unnatural, faded… Next, the movie is short (90 minutes) but the first minutes are about Benoit walking in the street with his dog. It barks at a cat picture and Benoit kicked it… so 2 minutes for a small fun moment… Next, we have a five minutes meal in which Benoit and his brother tell together their father each own story so it's again desperately long for a small fun moment. The next scene is more quiet but i can't follow the dialogues.. So, with so much problems after ten minutes, i stop the movie and maybe i will give it a try …on a free channel…..

raphaellebk The film is of the films absurd. The players play actually the absurd ism. The punk, M. Poelvoorde, is the Belg genius. The realizers do Mammuth, another absurd genius. I looked on this film with eyes of a film fan, and I was made to be very happy. I looked on the cinema Max Linder, which of course is the most appropriate cinema to look on a film as this. It is always nice that films show outside of Paris, the real France. The businessman, M. Dupontel plays actually in 9 mois ferme, hilarious also. I propose to you see this film also. I love projects of these film makers. le Grand Soir is not grand, it is an horrible night. Of course the music is incredible from the Wampas.

bidochon So this film is based on a really poorly written screenplay. There's no humor, unless you're young enough (teen) and maybe you will like, but even then.The film tells the story of 2 brothers. One punk (we don't know how it happened), one salesman (a loser... for no reason). The salesman get laid off, and slowly becomes a punk like his brother. The idea behind the film could actually make a good story, to remove stereotypes, to understand how one would become a homeless punk...But the idea behind the film is to make you laugh, and the writing is just not good at all. The jokes are... well.. drunk's jokes.Enjoy. Sorry for not being more specific.
