I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
What makes it different from others?
Good concept, poorly executed.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
"Struggle for Life" is the kind of broad, farcial comedy the Zucker Brothers might have made except this one's French and the gags are largely satirical. Luckily it's also very funny with the jokes flying faster than they did in "Airplane!", (think of this as Carry On Airplane). The director is Antonin Peretjatko and he gets a first-class comic peformance from Vincent Macaigne as the poor beaurocrat tasked with bringing French snow to the Guyanian jungle. Yes, it's that silly and I loved every daft minute of it.
The film harks back to the good old days of French cinema gems such as La chèvre (1981), but has nothing new to offer and doesn't measure up to those classics. Good for a few laughs or for practising your French (my case), but little more.
