Director Olivier Baroux has never been known for subtlety, as witnessed by his very mainstream movies: Safari, L’Italien, Mais qui a re-tué Pamela Rose ? and On a marché sur Bangkok. And so hysteria reigns on this improbable adventure at sea populated by the requisite stereotypes (the ridiculous Zabou Breitman is the worst) who get into a big fight and then reconcile on cue at the end. Uninspired, simplistic, with a tiny bit of attempted seriousness in the middle, this movie is one big, dumb jumble. The only saving grace: Mélanie Doutey, who brings a welcome bit of energy to the project, which unfortunately only raises it to mid-level quality.
