Daring humor

The audience appreciates the acting of the actors and especially Valerie Boneton. 25% of comments find the movie funny and entertaining, such as S PBC who writes: “It’s a very good comedy film, the audience keeps coming, I really enjoyed it, I wish the actors well.”

For Julien Dee, Les Boules de Noël is “A funny film that offers a great opportunity to make fun of Christmas and its clichés. It’s bold humor that we like! I recommend it.”

However, Jean-Pierre Gallou points out that this is not a film to watch with children.Very good movie, don’t take children who still believe in Santa Claus. The actors performed very well. We had a great time.”

Futura93 explains: “I had a great time, I went there for Valerie Boneton and I was not disappointed, she is definitely my favorite actress!”

According to Killian, this is a film that should be seen in theaters for a collective experience: “To appreciate this film, seeing it in theaters seems to be necessary to be entertained by the public’s laughter.” But let’s be honest, this isn’t the movie of the year, certainly not the movie of the month or the week. However, we are having a good time and thanks to the addictive rhythm of the valves, some of them are impactful!”

… or annoying

However, others find the humor awkward and the script overly clichéd, such as Helen S, who notes: “We’re having a good time, the cast is perfect, but most of the gags are still too heavy or incomplete. Not even one of them is accomplished (the cuddled baby). Do it…”

Shawn777 regrets it “The freckles in the trailer are literally in the first five minutes of the movie“. adds: “The film has quite a bit of dark and absurd humor, all of which I appreciate, but we’re stuck in a conventional comedy, as if the film never allowed itself to go full satire. And that’s the problem with the film, it never knows where it is. It wants to go, so it goes somewhere, even comically. In Pee-poo, which is certainly the most awkward scenes of the film, moreover, the film is predictable and the characters are clichés if “Les Boules de Noël” sometimes offers lines that emphasize, above all, we feel a lot of boredom, with a lot of shame.

finally sold dirty, “Sessions like this, where the whole room laughs at jokes about peeing, puking, or puking, make me deeply uncomfortable, especially since most of the gags are terribly predictable. But here’s where it all breaks down: it’s kind of a Christmas horror movie (in November!). Absolutely avoid it!”

In conclusion

An early Christmas comedy that will delight fans of Valerie Boneton and her daring humor. The predictable plot and the heaviness of some of the jokes seem to be the film’s weak points on first impressions.
