Having failed in theaters, this comedy gets its revenge and is a success on Netflix

Have you fished? at the top of the Top 10 Netflix France

The very small performance of the comedy Have you fished?, released in theaters during the summer of 2020, was due in part to the time disrupted by the pandemic, but perhaps also to its misleading title. Indeed, this question Have you fished? might suggest that we would see yet another high school teen comedy, listing clichés about first loves without looking any further.

Arthur (Paul Kircher), 15, has a crush on Ouassima (Inès d’Assomption), who doesn’t even look at him… Even though he never fell for it, she goes out with Matt, the handsome boy from school. . To get closer to her, Arthur gathers a group of single losers and offers to give them “fishing” lessons, for 10 euros per lesson. In the changing rooms of the swimming pool he begins a long intimate and collective training on “Girls and love: instructions”.

But this first feature film, written and directed by Adeline Picault, turns out to be more beautiful than expected in its way of dealing with romantic relationships between girls and boys, with a young and captivating main cast (Paul Kircher and Inès d’Assomption), and very solid references to the supporting adult cast, especially Ramzy Bedia, Vincent Macaigne and Anne Benoît. With them, despite some lengths, You screwed up it shows tender and brightwhile establishing a fairly accurate sociological portrait of the youth it puts on screen.

A nice performance for this comedy, which also benefits from the newly acquired popularity of Paul Kircher, who in 2023 put himself at the center of attention with the success The Animal Kingdom and who was there You have Pecho that’s all first appearance on the big screen.
