Not a bad comedy about the lockdown.
29 August 2023
Although I'm not a big fan of Danny Boon I did enjoy watching this lockdown comedy. He played the annoying paranoid character so that fitted him well. It was funny to see how some people got completely brainwashed during the "pandemic" and him walking with a scuba mask in a store wasn't even that far fetched as I witnessed that for myself here in Spain. Belgian actor François Damiens (better known for his sketches of L'embrouille) played the character he plays the best, that is the flamboyant and arrogant know-it-all. His best comedy is still Dikkenek (2006) but in this one he wasn't bad either. Yvan Attal on the other hand was overacting which was annoying. But the most annoying thing in Huit Rue De L'Humanité (or Stuck Together for the English title) was the song Alison Wheeler was repeatedly singing. I get it that they wanted it to sound irritating but at one point it got really irritating. We didn't have to wait long for a movie about Covid, in fact I watched already several ones, from bad to good. This one I would qualify as a good comedy showing different characters we all encountered during the global lockdown.
