misspiggie My french teacher allowed my class to watch the entire thing.It's a wonderful movie. There was one slow song that kept playing throughout the entire film, but at the moment I cannot recall the name of it. I give it a ten out of ten because it was funny, shocking, and even a smidge sad at points. Nowadays it would most definitely be rated PG-13 at least, because it does contain profanity and some sexual references. All of the foreign films shown to us in class were loved by all, such as Jean De Florette and Manon De la Source, which are both equally fabulous movies. I must say that I greatly enjoyed the lead female character's haircut. It really looked good on her.

Ucurian When I watched the film as a teenager, I was instantly falling in love with Sophie Marceau and have watched nearly all of her films later on. I was searching for the films for years, but on ebay in Germany the old VHS version always reached 40 €. But since 6 months we have both parts on DVD her in Germany and of course I bought them and still love them. The song "Dreams are my reality" had been a big hit. I think it was a No. 1 for several weeks. Every woman and man of my age know the song and nearly all men between 30 and 45 I know, get a melancholic smile on there face, when they think about Sophie Marceau in those films... Of course, there exist more intellectual scripts and from a view of the art of cinematography there are a lot of better films, but less that makes you feel so good.

PopRox9139 Every year our French class would watch this movie, not because it was especially good, but because it was tradition. There are so many bad parts in this movie: the French curse words, the leading lady, Vic, the title party where Vic and her boyfriend are slow dancing to that annoyingly haunting "Dreams Are My Reality" song while all of the other kids are practically moshing (in a French way, of course), that I really don't know why we insisted upon watching it. Of course, my senior year, some whiny underclassmen complained about part of the movie. I'm not real sure about this part because the TV would usually experience "technical difficulties," which pretty much meant the teacher adjusted the tracking so we couldn't see anything until the scene was over. Nevertheless, sometimes his timing was off, and I know I'll never look at popcorn the same way again! Long story short, it was declared as pornographic and never shown at my high school again, which was a real shame. (Darn Freshmen!)

orangecrushprincess We watched this movie in my french class with English subtitles. It's hysterical, we couldn't stop laughing, a must see for the 80's french enthusiast! With great characters, odd themes, and the funniest one-liners ever, this is a can't miss, even 20 years after it came out!
