8 Rue de l’Humanité

I was hoping this period wouldn't be long enough to make movies about, but of course it had to come to that. But Stuck Together proves that it can be done in a clever, funny, lighthearted, and ultimately very moving way. Once again I'm surprised at how low the film has been rated. Personally, I would have expected it to score much, much higher. (14.12.2021)

The French took the current theme of Covid and gave it a comedic twist. With Dany Boon in the lead, it sounded like a hot candidate for comedy of the year, but unfortunately they kept it a little too grounded at times. Not that there aren’t a few funny scenes. Dany steals it for himself again, but doesn't get enough space, and I found Francois Damiens as the janitor the funniest ever. Too bad the film is more drama than a pure crazy comedy, and relies more on emotions towards the end (they are effective, but I'd rather laugh than cry). A nice film on a topical subject that suffers from a two-hour running time, which is simply too much for a film of this nature. 6/10. (25.10.2021)
