It's like a Quebecois The Big Chill, though without the classic rock and with even more dialogue. It's mostly pretty funny and witty, but it doesn't really seem to lead anywhere. The third act turn towards serious drama is the logical result of the preceding dialogue, but it's still a bit off-putting. The strange historical ideologies and shaken beliefs of these formerly idealistic characters are the real interesting parts of the film, but unfortunately they're mostly brushed over in favour of more sex talk. Still, it's entertaining enough and you could do worse for Quebec film.
