The film tells the story of two girls from poor Moroccan families in Paris and their friendship. There are no interesting twists or turns in the movie, which jumps from one uninteresting "real-life situation" to the other, without making deep observations or being somewhat entertaining. We see those girls interact with their families, friends, colleagues, lovers, we see them partying and working, talking to each other, but the dialogs are rather boring. One thing that I found amusing is that the characters use a lot of "verlan" and they dress fashionably cute. The bottom line is that the film is dull, the characters are under-developed and the dialogs are rather plain.

That's a story of two friends living in a suburb and dreaming about a word more posh. I think it's a good movie but sometimes I was boring even I laughed a lot. I love a scene where they sing in the street "chanson sur ma drôle de vie". They're free and it seems like nothing can be difficult in their lives.

presented at the French film Festival in Wellington, this film portrays a slice of contemporary society in France. 50 years after the independence of North African countries, children and grand children of immigrants have integrated into a wider context.

There is no story line as such, rather a sequence of mini events in the life of two friends, with two socially opposite Parisian suburbs as a backdrop: the affluent Neuilly and its modest counterpart Puteaux. This polarity enables some misunderstandings about who lives where adding an amusing touch to the mural.

Brilliant acting from both Leila Bekhti and Geraldine Nakache (also the director) Virginie Ledoyen is impeccable albeit in a supporting role.
