Movie Review: The Volcano

Pros:
I love French rom coms. Much like Heartbreaker and the Valet from previous season The Volcano is a lot of fun. It gets really over the top but never quite breaks itself.  That's the best part of French comedies. They know when to pull back. This one was great from start to finish.

The chemistry between the two leads was great. I truly believed they were a bickering couple. I loved the constant jabs and backstage throughout the movie. They were funny and never quite went too sadistic or cliche. Overall it was a very fun movie with lots of good moments and fun twists. I for one never saw the arrow coming.

Cons:
Some of the situations were a bit too much. The weird Jesus guy was a bit too over the top. Though I enjoyed the fight in his RV. It's just that character was a little too stereotype for me.

Final Notes:
Overall this movie was a whole lot of fun. A small fun little comedy that you should see with a loved one.

FINAL VERDICT: 90


Only 3 movies left! Onto Chinese puzzle!
