On voulait tout casser is a disaster from beginning to end, from its syrupy dialogue to its caricatured characters, the awfully hammy Kad Merad, a ridiculous soundtrack and transparent directing (if you’re feeling generous, Benoît Magimel and Vincent Moscato are less terrible than the others). It is a TV movie hoisted to the big screen, revealing a worthless production system in the process. Like a bad joke turned into an unpleasant experience, Philippe Guillard’s movie drags on, bogged down by indigestible sentimentality. It is so simplistic that it’s almost a parody of movies about buddies, wives, dreams and the nothingness of ordinary life. It’s best to avoid this movie at any cost, otherwise you risks losing a piece of your soul to the worst aspect of popular movies.
