Critiques (3)
The French took the current theme of Covid and gave it a comedic twist. With Dany Boon in the lead, it sounded like a hot candidate for comedy of the year, but unfortunately they kept it a little too grounded at times. Not that there aren’t a few funny scenes. Dany steals it for himself again, but doesn't get enough space, and I found Francois Damiens as the janitor the funniest ever. Too bad the film is more drama than a pure crazy comedy, and relies more on emotions towards the end (they are effective, but I'd rather laugh than cry). A nice film on a topical subject that suffers from a two-hour running time, which is simply too much for a film of this nature. 6/10.

Stuck Together is the first full-on comedy I've seen that takes place during the COVID lockdown, and it's from Dany Boon, who seems to have a knack for good French comedies lately. While Boon's over-the-top approach to his character’s paranoia about COVID got the biggest laughs, the rest of the cast didn't quite hit the same mark for me. The film also felt a bit too long, but by the time it wrapped up, the ending had just enough heart to convince me that, even if I wasn’t laughing nonstop, it still managed to land where it needed to. That’s why I ended up giving it a fourth star.

I was hoping this period wouldn't be long enough to make movies about, but of course it had to come to that. But Stuck Together proves that it can be done in a clever, funny, lighthearted, and ultimately very moving way. Once again I'm surprised at how low the film has been rated. Personally, I would have expected it to score much, much higher.
