Loved that film! An authentic journey into Quebec culture.

Acting is great, pictures are magnificent, but the thing that got me hooked was the amount of great moments of discomfort and chaos. Made me uncomfortable but in a way I enjoyed.

*** Dont believe the bad reviews***

First, it is not a romantic comedy. While comedy is present, it is pretty dark and I would describe it more as a drama, as well as a love dilemma.

Also, I saw reviews saying it is very much based on stereotypes. While a part of that might be true, you have to remember it's still a movie so it has to be a bit polarizing. But, as quebecois that lived both in Montreal and the suburbs/coutryside, I could relate to every situation in the film and I have to say, it was very accurate.

Loved the ending too.

9/10.

Yes, I agree with the reviews saying it is a chaotic and stressful film. Sandler's character is in big trouble from beginning to end and digs his hole even more every second that passes. I kept asking myself how the hell is this guy even still alive ?

But, I thought the film was a bit long and that too much focus was put on the Weeknd and basketball. These parts weren't really interesting to me.

Overall, I found the film boring, repetitive and weird, but I did enjoy the self destruction part as well as I enjoyed Adam Sandler's performance.

6/10, would not recommend and would definitly not watch it again.
