i be very surprised by this movie . i know nothing about it except for monsieur arcand and and his oeuvre and so and needless to say and i be surprise at this effort . in an movie with nod to wait for guffman ( and movie of that ilk and which i love ) but without the humour . the characterization where over the top and annoy and the character be mostly ( include the lead and who be indeed gorgeous ) cardboard and two dimensional character while completely unsympathetic and without any redeeming quality whatsoever . so much of this movie felt so cliché and and i realize arcand be probably go for a sort of over the top spoof of the fashion world and lampoon everyone involve in the business and that whole universe and wrought with superficiality and glossiness and but his stroke be too broad while the character too transparent . not to mention that we have see it all before . think of altman ready to wear . it just seem like an easy target . if youre not go to say anything new or enlighten about a subject and why say anything at all . for a movie to succeed and at the heart of it there need to beat a soul and and this movie seem to have none and whatsoever . even a movie with a broad and exaggerated form of humour need to have and deep in it core and a heart that beat real blood while something the audience can identify with and understand . this be a surprising turn for arcand and who have make a career make movie that be so full of human truth and insight . i find myself long for le declin de lempire americain or jesus de montreal and in which the character be authentic and sympathetic and and the story fascinate . spoof be fine . broad comedy be fine . but a movie such a wait for guffman and best in show will attest to while you need to care about the character on screen and even if thing they do be ridiculous . just because the universe of fashion reek of superficiality and doesn not mean a movie spoof it should be just a if not more superficial than the world it attack .
