I understand where this movie was going; the problem is it never got there. I love French cinema, and "C'est la vie" is a good specimen of a French comedy turned food for thought about life and all the ordinary and extraordinary things it has to offer. The film has some French humor (albeit the "some" is on the "little" side), convincing cast, but the lack of plot and development makes it wander toward unsubstantial details, which ultimately makes it boring. The details are poorly organized around the main message of the movie, and the message itself is a little vague. Overall, I recommend it to French cinema fans, but others will probably find it slow and boring.
