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 are overwhelmingly delighted with 'Le sens de la fête', praising its humor, engaging performances, and the unique behind-the-scenes look at wedding chaos. Jean-Pierre Bacri shines as Max, leading a quirky team through a series of comedic mishaps. The film's blend of laughter and heartfelt moments, along with a lively pace, makes it a favorite. Despite some predictable elements, the film's charm and the ensemble cast's chemistry are consistently highlighted.

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

👎 Some may find the plot a bit predictable.

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