“Télérama” had not been invited to screenings of press for the new film from Omar Sy. After seeing the room, this comedy pulls-tears harmless, it is easy to understand why…
Party to “make a break” with the family in the United States after the success ofthe Untouchables (2011), and rejecting vigorously any hint of tax exile, Omar Sy seems to have yet got a taste for the californian sun. He settles for supporting roles though bland in hollywood blockbusters (X-Men : Days of Future Past, Jurassic World, Inferno), and leading roles very smooth in French comedies politically correct (Samba, Chocolate). in the future begins, the second feature film by Hugo Gélin (son and grandson) belongs certainly to the second category.
Omar Sy is, therefore, Samuel, a single young woman who lives on what could be the Côte d’azur. He spends his days walking around wealthy tourists on the outside edge of its patron saint (Clémentine Célarié, charming) and his nights to organize parties on the beach. His charisma, his smile, his nonchalance, wreak havoc with young and nice visitors, who often wake up in the cabin of his boat. One morning, one of his conquests ephemeral (Clemence Poesy, charming) removing a baby of three months in the arm – them – before fleeing to England. Caught unawares, the hedonistic part with its bulky packages to the search of the mother who has resigned. And as it is not in Ken Loach but in a comedy, in public, dad is doing super well in London, where he falls by chance on a fellow gay, and producer (Antoine Bertrand, charming) that hosts it and finds him in the minute a job as a stuntman.
The feelgood movie rather harmless, but a bit maddening in his forced optimism and his boboïtude off the ground, turns at the end of about an hour in melodrama, as the contingencies of life (this bitch) come knocking at the door of the loft papa’s cake and his girl of 8 years (Gloria Colston, charming indeed). We won’t reveal the half dozen of good and bad news that toggle the comedy in the marshmallow pulls-tears, but know that the moral will be saved and that it really is-too-hard-being-parent-but-we-did-to-our-better.
Calibrated to make you laugh and then cry from 7 to 99 years old, the future begins did not really have major defects if not its fadeur. Has the image of the dialogues, which do not fly but simply gnat. Has a character of a filmmaker hysterical ultra-cartoonish, the actors are never too much. They are on a partition that poor that they play without emphasis. And Omar Sy (charming) is always smiling as well. It would just be time that he learns how to choose roles less consensual. When you are a personality favorite of the French, we can afford to cleave.
