With his first film, actor and director Igor Gotesman (partner in crime of Pierre Niney on the TV series Casting(s)) has a clear and simple ambition: to make a movie full of funny and energetic friends, gags and hilarious characters, who go on overblown adventures in clichés settings – a drug deal, an electro party by a pool, a beach paradise, a group of friends that has to break up before they re-bond more strongly. Mission accomplished with Five, a modest comedy and prototype of a genre that camouflages its superficial plot with a good dose of humor, sensitivity and indulgence. No matter that none of this is original or inspired, and the not-so-madcap script recycles all-too much: this adventure will most likely charm and captivate its audience. No more, no less.
