Alibi.com 2

Philippe Lacheau and his crew go again for a full rating. They are the only ones that keep the comedy genre afloat and there is currently no competition that comes even close. It's unbelievable that they have once again managed to make a great film where they come up with new ideas, while keeping their trademarks, adding old friends, and the whole thing is just as you expect from this bunch. Those who don't know them by now should be punished after their sins. On the one hand, I would have appreciated a completely different film, or rather seen a Nicky Larson sequel, but Alibi.com was a hit too. Elodie Fontan is getting more and more beautiful, the woman just doesn't age, Boudali and Arruti have less space though, due to the amount of new characters. The return of the Joker from Badman is definitely pleasing, and Lacheau is excellent again. This time they avoid movie references, but it all builds up nicely. At one point the film is even suspenseful, where everything gets incredibly shitty until it slowly becomes a thriller. The jokes are once again unreal, the ideas are silly and the finale itself with the two weddings and the subsequent slow motion fight is really the highlight both in terms of craft and humour. I laughed, I cried (with emotion and laughter), I was surprised, shocked and had an incredible time. I wouldn’t have minded another half hour. I really wish they would take on horror characters next time and make a proper parody of them.. hopefully dreams come true. 9/10. (02/07/2023)
