Title: a bit of a dud
Product review: It's hard to know what to say about this: they had such a mish-mash of ideas that came to nothing. But some of them were good.One thing that'll make you sit bolt upright is the ending, which is abrupt, unexpected, thought-provoking, and, well, French in character.However, thinking back on it, I don't think the movie "earned" that ending: it was not that coherent. It seemed rather that they didn't know how to tie the two story threads together and so simply ended it by rolling the credits. I found this highly dissatisfying and weird for a movie that was so light-hearted in character: it was almost like it was a betrayal of what went before, rather than a completion or a resolution.And the tourist? Please! Why couldn't it have just been about a rogue wizard on the run? That was a serviceable enough premise! Why'd you have to add all that other junk?
