Quatre Garçons pleins d'avenir

1997 · 90 min

A lightweight, uneven French comedy that ambles rather than sparkles, offering mild amusement rather than big laughs.

Overview
The premise of four young men out to celebrate the end of their school exams has great promise as comedy material, a promise that is far from realized in this banal, unevenly paced, run-of-the-mill attempt at a supposedly funny story.
