    Gros coup de MARKETING !!! Dès les 5 premières minutes, on voit Alexandre Despatie qui est au gym torse nu, et qui fait du squat. Ils font même un gros plan sur ses muscles de dos. Tous les gars sont mit en vedette das le film pour les faires bien parraitre. On voit toujours leur...( read more)s muscles de près, ou bien leur speedo de natation pleine écran. On voit Super Écran affiché partout. Pour ce qui est de l'histoire, c'est une bonne histoire. Mais il reste qu'elle aurai été 100 fois meilleurs sans les innombrabres coups de marqueting !!! Les filles aimeront surement plus que les gars !

    ...Oh, lord. To type down everything bad, very bad or unspeakably bad about this movie clearly is an impossible thing to do, but I can assure you, I will do my very best.

    First and foremost, the purpose. Months before the release, everyone involved on this drivel (cast, produ...( read more)cers, director) had already admitted to the media this was a ''commercial'' flick and that there was nothing wrong with simple entertainment. I absolutely do agree with that statement alone, but what we have here is a shameless piece of excrement, effortlessly written and with no conviction beyond applying the endless formula just to rake in the bucks. Everything, hear me, EVERYTHING here has already been seen before bazillions of times in its American counterparts but with far more wit, energy or just plain effort. The dialogue is mercilessly flat (wait 'til you hear the dubbed version, too), the jokes are as funny as cancer, the chemistry nonexistant and the conventional relationship zig-zags are only more painful to get through than usual (and *that's* saying something).

    With a cast that, without any exception, all look too old for their parts and terribly out of place, and a monstrous per-minute product placement ratio, this lazy abomination has clearly earned its place in the ranks of what I call 'dead cinema'. Everyone involved should be seriously ashamed of insulting the nine to fifteen year old girls' intelligence like that, and everyone else not falling in that range that are curious, if only for one tiny bit, should RUN THE FUCK AWAY.

    À Vos Marques, Party, is as stupid as its title. And what makes it even more stupid is the fact that it resembles strangely the very popular film Mean Girls; not that it is identical.

    Everything is cliché about this film. From the characters to the story to the s...( read more)chool and its teachers. I mean come on, does it get any worse than this? Yes it does!

    ...The Music. FUCK MAN, each scene had its song. And the volume level? Horrid! I almost destroyed my hearing capablities trying to balance between the music and the actual dialogues.
    Why the hell did they even try to embellish the film with music when all of it is crap music. Like Simple Plan and other kiddy rock groups?!

    What I'm even more afraid is that my fellow french-canadians will delight in this genre and actually make more movies like this one. I hope not, 'cause then I'll have to resort to more serious measures, like switching nationalities for example.

    And since I've been extremely harsh, I have to admit it was a little fun to watch. Bitchiness at its acme, we could say.
    Then again, 2hours is fucking long for such a stupid film, so I take that back.

    P.S. The school's heart-throb isn't even close to being cute. And this is like - the most important part of the film, mind you.

    J'espérais que la tendance américaine des teen movies de filles nounounes ne se soit pas répandue jusqu'ici mais bon... C'est un bon film.

    I own it, so I might as well see it once.

    C'est bien parce que c'est un film québécois car l'interprétation de plusieurs acteurs laisse à désirer... Parlons d'abord de la médiocre performance d'Alexandre Dépatie. Décidemment, qu'il oublie sa carrière d'acteur et qu'il se concentre davantage sur ses plongeons.
    *En passan...( read more)t, je déteste l'affiche du film... -qui est cette fille ? quel est ce chandail ? quel est ce nombril ??
    **Espérons mieux dans la suite du film...
