Les garçons et Guillaume, à table! (2013)

Also Known As: Maman und ich, Me myself and mum,
Chicos y Guillermo ¡A comer!
Year of first release: 2013
Director: Guillaume Gallienne
Actors: Guillaume Gallienne
Country: F
Genre: Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 17.02.2016, DVD, French version
Synopsis: Guillaume (Gallienne) behaves like his mother (Gallienne), talks like her and looks like her. He feels feminine but not effeminate. Everybody laughs at him for that. 
Review: That movie did a buzz in France and it had been seen as a huge comedy. But well. Several sketches are funny in this very personal and autobiographical story by Gallienne. Even if these are good pitches, the humour is always the same. The story is quite touching as well and as both key roles are played by Gallienne, he and his mother, this makes it even more touching. 
The acting is good, especially Gallienne making a great and successful jump from the theater to the movies. 
It is also interesting to have the movie switching from theater scenes to the "reality" of the movie scenes. This makes me feel more the story of Gallienne who indeed wrote the story for the theater first and then adapted it for the movie. 
Rating: 6 /10
