9 Month Stretch

A very funny, laugh out loud film. A very serious, hard working French lady judge is pressured into going to her department's New Year Party. She gets drunk and finds out, six months later, that she is pregnant by a notorious criminal. Cue - lots of slapstick, world's most slap dash pathologist, cannibalism being defended by a lawyer with a lisp and a sort of rom com.

Le dernier film en date d'Albert Dupontel est une comédie noire et burlesque hilarante qui parvient à effacer son petit temps mort en plein milieu de métrage par quelques gags franchement très réussis et une galerie de personnages tous plus originaux et intéressants les uns que les autres. La réalisation de Dupontel marche plutôt bien, tandis que son duo avec Sandrine Kiberlain est excellent. Cependant, c'est Nicolas Marié qui est le plus drôle du film, dans son second rôl d'avocat bègue.

sort of a disappointment....:(

Une petite comédie bien sympathique à regarder.

Something about the script, the casting, and the acting --it all just works and not in the least bit corny kind of way --I laughed and laughed. Recommend!!

Du pur Dupontel. J'aime.

The movie is a bit amusing but most of the people in it are portrayed as idiots.The best part that i loved was Jean DuJardin who was translating the news into sign language. Overall a below the average comedy.

Quand bien meme on retrouve la griffe feroce et iconoclaste de Dupontel dans ce traitement de l'univers judiciaire, le script reste leger en particulier sur la conclusion mais aussi dans la relation de la juge et de l'accuse...

Full of tired jokes and cliches, but still manages to entertain in parts. Another minus is that it's predictable throughout, but it's got a certain amount of French charm and humor that partially makes up for it. Not a total waste of time, no.
