Les sous-doués passent le bac (1980)
Country: FR
Technical: col 90m
Director: Claude Zidi
Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Michel Galabru, Maria Pacôme
Synopsis:
Underachieving students at a private school in Versailles prepare to sit their baccalauréat yet another time, as the headmistress of the establishment resolves to react hard to their position at the bottom of the league tables. The ensuing clash of wills produces an escalation of delinquency and counter-measures until the police themselves find themselves involved.
Review:
Woefully jejune and inept sub-Animal House slapstick, conceived and executed without a shred of continuity or development and suffering from the same poverty of resources that bedevilled many British comedies of the preceding decade. For one who was in Versailles briefly at the time, nostalgia for the period trappings quickly gave way to enervation; like watching a seventies French porn film without the porn.
