French humour or lack thereof

The super stupid plot is about Jeanne, a French woman who's the voice of Jennifer, an American soap star. Jeanne gets unemployed and decides to travels to L. A. when Jennifer decides to quit the soap for personal reasons.

In L. A. Jeanne meets Farres, a French guy, and both of them get involved in super stupid antics.

I am not French, but I speak both English and French and I found the dialogues extremely irritating because Jeanne's English is horrible and she mixes French and English words, and the Americans are equally bad with their spoken French.

Strictly for the French market, because the two leads, Foresti and Debbouze, are famous comedians - in France - which means that their French audience is probably convinced they are funny when they are not. Foresti in particular is unbearable and overact like crazy.

Foresti Goes to Hollywoo

Read it here: http://squeerelist.blogspot.com/2013/06/hollywoo-2011.html

Jennifer Marshall is Hollywood's It Girl starring in the over-publicized TV show L.A. Couples. Jeanne is her French dubbing artist whose career depends on Marshall's fame. When Jennifer decides to retire after her co-star and boyfriend cheats on her, Jeanne feels like her own career is over. She flies to LA to meet Jennifer and try to make her reconsider... It's a funny and fresh movie displaying the views of the French on Hollywood and its excessive way of life. The main actors are very popular French comedians (Florence Foresti & Jamel Debbouze) and I think you'll find this movie funny if you already know Foresti's work. It may not be a good movie for someone who is not into contemporary French culture. The cast is very eclectic and you'll find American, French, Canadian actors and more. Hollywoo may not end up in my Top 10 Comedies but I spent an enjoyable moment watching it. You should definitely give it a try and share your opinion with me!
