Les collègues

1999 · 93 min

A breezy, good-natured underdog comedy with scrappy teamwork and local colour, easy to enjoy without much effort.

Overview: This is the story of a small Marseilles football club on the verge of extinction that ends up in an amateur tournament organised during the World Cup (inevitably referred to as "La Mondialette"). It's their opportunity to save the club. The team, made up of temperamental hotheads, will have to dodge all kinds of low blows.
How it feels: Light, warm, whimsical and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, sport, found family, survival
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
