Just saw it tonight on TV. It is a good comedy worth watching it on TV at least, but this is definitely not ''Diner de cons''. Just to some who claim that Johnny didn't play well Jean-Phillip Smet I've just have to say that Jean-Phillip Smet is the real name of Johnny Hallyday. I guess it is why it is not much emphases on that assuming that french audience already know that.
Frankly it is all about that, you must know a little about the French pop culture as other actor are doing small cameos. In that point of view you really got to know how a big stars Johnny is in reality so the ending is more meaningful. All the thing Fabrice tell him about what he should have done are real events part of history. Just for finish Johnny is at first a singer but for several years now he is a full fledge actor and his movie are not all about him playing himself he is able to do other stuff too just as Fabrice Luchini. I guess if the rights are sold to make an Hollywood's flicks you could have a big stars still alive like Billy Joel or Neil Diamond someone a little bit cheesy but still big with a truckloads of die hard fans.
