The comedian and his gang go off on an uncontrolled rampage. Their adventure came to life in 2014, with the movie “Babysitting” because even if they wanted to stay serious, people laughed.
In eight years, the films produced by the comedy troupe have become blockbusters of French cinema. Around Philippe Lacheau, they develop a salacious humor, based on camaraderie and gaudriole.
In four productions, Philippe Lacheau surpassed 12 million admissions, while Tarek Boudali tutored the 4 million in two films, the last one plumbed by an exit in full confinement. Their modus operandi is to make one another’s movies run and to give oneself roles as one used to make valves at school on the air of “you turned me on well in your last film, well you lose nothing to wait”.
While “Super hero despite himself” arrived on Wednesday, February 2 at the cinema, a look at the tricolor box-office performances of previous films by Philippe Lacheau, Tarek Boudali, Elodie Fontan and Julien Arruti.
The first real comedy for the general public to be released in theaters since the beginning of the year, “Super hero despite himself” has benefited from a vast release plan. More than 700 cinemas have scheduled the film for its first week with nearly 2,900 sessions scheduled for its launch on February 2. It must be said that the new comedy of Philippe Lacheau was expected.
In “Super hero despite himself”, Philippe Lacheau is Cédric, a failed actor who finally gets his first role in a superhero movie. But, following an accident, he wakes up amnesiac and sure to be the superhero he must interpret: Badman! Well, for inspiration, the actor-director has not been far, on the side of Gotham, and therefore stages a person, without superpowers, who plays the vigilantes. “He does good, but bad” is the film’s catchphrase.
“Super hero despite himself,” a comedy in which the hero is an amnesiac actor convinced to be a shadowy vigilante, was released in theaters. An hour and a half later, the case is heard, but surprisingly, there are two political micro-valves in addition to the stories of sodomite cars and cardboard Avengers. Philippe Lacheau shoots at everything, at full speed, almost without thinking, the band hopes to make a phenomenon last with sagas of his concepts potache. There, nothing changes: To make people laugh at all costs, whatever happens, without respite or regret, this is the method of The Band at Fifi.”
A new success for Philippe Lacheau. His new film “Super hero against him”, released on February 2, gathered 476,908 spectators (including 102,364 in previews) during its first five days of operation.
The last comedy of the “Bande à Fifi” does a little less than Nicky Larson and the perfume of Cupid, which had seduced 630,013 spectators in 2019 during its first week of operation.
This film is very successful, always with the Lacheau paw, this innate sense of the huge gag that we do not see coming. On-screen media: This famous band … It was a gamble to rub shoulders with this kind of films that are rarely made in France: superheroes, with all the references to Marvel, Batman…”Super hero despite himself” is his fifth director’s film since the phenomenon “Babysitting” which revealed it to the very general public. Each of his films has about 2 million viewers in theaters.
