It is an absolute classic of the Christmas movie, a French comedy that gathered 1.5 million curious people immediately after its release in cinemas: Jean-Marie Poire’s Santa Claus is rubbish, with the whole Splendid group, is also a success on Netflix, where it is in the top 10 of the platform’s 10 most watched films in
A little quiz? Figure out if that line is coming from Santa or the skis of tanned people!
On Christmas Eve, Thérèse and Pierre run the Paris SOS distress-friendship hotline, helping lonely and depressed people. But the evening turns into a disaster when Josette, nicknamed “Zezette”, her companion Felix, a pathetic gangster, an over-the-top neighbor, a transvestite at the bottom, and others, enter the offices!
All the splendor is there: Anemone, Bruno Moyneau, Christian Clavier, Gérard Junot, Jossien Balasco, Marie-Anne Chazelle, Michel Blanc, Thierry Lhermitte and their friends and actors: Martin Lamotte and Jacques Francois.
This is Jean-Marie Poiret’s first time with the entire cast, but he previously directed Men Prefer Fat, which he wrote. Josiane Balasco.
The goons are going at a hundred miles an hour, the nasty and cringeworthy dialogue flows, the characters are often pathetic but funny, and we laugh with them, not at their expense!
Of “Obviously, it depends, it goes beyond” has “Rovers with hands under arms” with you “Cleft, Theresa” and “I don’t like to say bad things, but he’s really good.”Lines preserved from generation to generation are collected in the same movie, to see and watch!
