Synopsis

Max is a battle-weary veteran of the wedding-planning racket. His latest — and last — gig is a hell of a fête, involving stuffy period costumes for the caterers, a vain, hyper- sensitive singer who thinks he's a Gallic James Brown, and a morose, micromanaging groom determined to make Max's night as miserable as possible. But what makes the affair too bitter to endure is that Max's colleague and ostensible girlfriend, Joisette, seems to have written him off, coolly going about her professional duties while openly flirting with a much younger server. It's going to be a very long night… especially once the groom's aerial serenade gets underway.

Community Reviews

Viewers generally adore 'C'est la vie!', praising its humor, engaging characters, and the lively portrayal of a chaotic wedding day from the perspective of its harried staff. Jean-Pierre Bacri shines as the beleaguered wedding planner, bringing depth and humor to his role. The film's fast pace and witty dialogue keep audiences entertained, though some find certain scenes and gags a bit stretched or predictable.

👍 Jean-Pierre Bacri's performance is a standout.

👎 Some scenes may feel overly long or predictable.

Atrocement téléphone, sans imagination malgré un début d’histoire qui emballe. Mention honorable pour le personnage de Gilles Lellouche.
