Do Not Disturb

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

Two old friends take a risk after 15 years: by sleeping together.

Jeff (François Cluzet) goes to visit Ben (Yvan Attal) and his wife (Laetitia Casta). The two friends haven't seen each other for ages – Jeff wandered around South America while Ben has been comfortably accommodated within his family. As they drink a little too much, Jeff and Ben decide to participate in a porn film festival by spicing things up with a clip of the two heterosexuals sleeping together. Between provocation and pride, the project turns into a bet. As they push their limits in the name of art, the two friends soon come up against their greatest challenge: a lack of mutual physical attraction.

A generous mix of the supposed crisis of the modern heterosexual, the pressures of being a couple, the eventual loss of a man's identity and freedom, as well as his potential homosexual curiosity. Yvan Attal's remake of the American film Humpday is too confused, reflecting not only the minds of its main characters, but also that of the audience once the movie is over.
