I do not write reviews, and I know my review will not be read much, because what is called 'Foreign-films' pages are rarely visited by English speaking visitors. Since this funny movie was grossly misjudged by the public, I overrated it slightly for compensation.
I tried watching this mess in the hope of something funny but when the dumb husband enters dressed as a woman.... OMG.
French film Marie-Francine also goes under the english title '50 is the New 30'. The film follows Marie-Francine (Valérie Lemercier), a 50 year-old research scientist as she copes with becoming single again.
I must say I saw this movie in french, my natural language.Well, it's crap.
Movie you can watch just for a good laugh. Its nothing more and nothing less than that...
For Marie-Francine the life is quite hard: her husband left her and she has to go back to her parent's home (she is 50 years old): and little by little she will recover her life.Marie-Francine is a pleasant comedy with some touchs of humour about the marriage, the life of the people in the neighborhood and her new love.
It's definitely not the best performance from Valérie Lemercier, but we spend a good moment after all. Some funny jokes, a movie to clear your mind and stop thinking about your own problems.
