Product Description

Description

Fabrice is the biggest Johnny Hallyday fan in the world. But one day he wakes up in a subtly different reality… a world where his music idol doesn’t exist! So Fabrice sets out to discover what happened to Jean-Philippe Smet, the man known as Johnny Hallyday. He’s shocked to find that Jean-Philippe is just an ordinary average joe running a bowling alley. This starts a hilarious uphill mission to resurge his idol. But is it possible?

Lisa Nesselson, Variety

"A very sweet comedy about fandom, destiny and dreams deferred... a cross between Hustle & Flow and Back to the Future"

3.0 out of 5 stars obviously a promotional dvd for Johnny Hallyday, Aug 5 2007

Francesca Jourdan (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jean-Philippe (DVD)

Fabrice (Fabrice Luchini) is Johnny Hallyday's biggest fan (Johnny being *the* French rock star) and avidly collects everything about Johnny. One day, Fabrice wakes up in a parallel world where Johnny does not exist; there he will have to find Jean-Philippe Smet (Johnny's real name) and in just a few days, convince him to become Johnny, something he accomplished in 30-40 years time in the "real" world.

The ending was very predictable, I still won't spoil it! (There simply was no other way to end this film anyway.)

It's not so much a comedy, as an obvious promotion plug for Johnny, his albums, his tours, his memorabilia, etc. There are some jokes, but the best parts remain when Fabrice attempts to sing like Johnny, that is truly hilarious.

I've personally always preferred Johnny Hallyday as an actor than a singer, and here is no exception. Luchini on the other hand was always an overactor to my eyes, so I was surprised to see his acting was perfect for this part.

If you don't like Johnny or don't know his songs, stay away as this is all about him and the "what if" he hadn't become Johnny. (It's quite like the USA without Elvis or England without the Beatles.)

If you do like Johnny and his songs, you should enjoy this film. Fans should love this as the movie is filled with anecdotes, dates and facts about Johnny.

My recommendation:
This is a very light comedy for fans only.
