Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2015

Genre: Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 17.04.2016, in-flight entertainment 10" screen.
Synopsis: After a party night during which they complained about their present lives, the two friends Patrice and Eric (Merad & Dubosc) are projected into their own bodies in the 80's and start to think about change.
Review: A flight with Air France was the opportunity to catch up with some french comedies. Bis didn't surprise me much with its cast composed of two of the currently major actors of the genre in France. The travel to the 80's is a good pretense for some nostalgic jokes that cannot be lost on a public that lived through that period (I wonder the effect on a younger audience...) and the predictable dilemma our heroes will face, ending of course with the realization that it is only when you lose something that you understand how much you miss it.
Beyond this too obvious story, there are some touching moments between Patrice and his future wife, or Eric and his lost father.
Rating: 3 /10
