As far as French cinema goes, it has it ups and downs. Not only in quality but in genre, too. This is light entertainment, palatable world- wide (not too many French references and such).
Two men, friends since school times, have a mid-live crisis and travel back into the 80' to relive the moments in life that shaped their future (and current situation). In the end they come to realize that things aren't that bad at all. So far, nothing new.
As far as acting and writing are concerned, it's a decent comedy without touching any tough topics. (If you want a better French flick, watch Intouchables (2011) ). And even though the movie does not re-invent anything, it has its moments, especially when the guys try to monetize on their knowledge of the future.
All in all a nice little flick that'll probably conjure a few smiles and giggles, but that's it. Good for a Sunday afternoon with the family.
