Critic Reviews for A Pain in the Ass
-
The English title, I'm afraid, sums up the film.
April 17, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
Without being in the same league as last year's brilliant In Bruges, the comedy here sometimes comes from a deliciously dark place.

L'emmerdeur (A Pain In The Ass) goes through the motions smoothly, even lazily, providing increasingly-intermittent smirks rather than genuine belly laughs.

Alas, not for a minute does the viewer care about any character, though admittedly it's mildly diverting and intermittently funny -- and occasionally blackly or incongruously so.

I never saw the original, I can only dimly remember the Billy Wilder version but hey, it works well enough to deliver quite a few laughs.

The physical comedy works well, and while the farce is perhaps oversize for the screen these days, it is nevertheless an entertaining and genial trip.

Audience Reviews for A Pain in the Ass

May 02, 2012Not a bad movie but it isn't particularly hilarious either. I think it tries too hard to be zany and wacky and it succeeds in certain scenes, but it felt, to me, a bit forced. The cast is decent but not particularly impressive. Really this movie didn't do a lot for me despite being average. It has its moments but definitely not enough to make the movie good. Infinitely better than The Darkest Hour however.Jesse O Super Reviewer

Oct 03, 2010Hilarious! This underwhelming comedy of errors has one faint distinction: it's strangely pitched, somewhere between deadpan and slapstick absurdity. It's sort of like a Gallic <I>Get Smart</i>, but with the great gags replaced by treacly sentiment. To be fair, the annoying elements are largely intentional. Hitman comedies have become a veritable sub-genre, especially ones in which the assassin has a kernel of redemptive decency - it would be refreshing to see one in which he was irredeemably callous. That said, Richard Berry is the nearest thing to a memorable performance in this forgettable romp.Dean M Super Reviewer
