Content creator, humorist, rapper (double platinum disc), face of a brand of frozen pizza – rather good in addition – and, for some time, an actor confined to supporting roles as in The torch, Mister v continues to go. A path that led him to Co-creation her first film, McWalterinspired by a character he created several years ago.
McWalter is the least discreet spy in the world and above all, Three short videos on YouTube that have accumulated millions of views. So even if it means jumping in the big bath of the feature film, you might as well be based on a safe bet with the help of a streaming platform that has never hesitated to support projects with actors of the Internet generation.
Indeed, Prime Video is Infallibles or I want you, either With Ines Reg, Head in the stars With Hakim Jemili, BDE With Lola Dubini and Ludovik… works that were as successful, commercial and critical, as one of the first appearances of Mister V and his friends in the cinema, The manor In 2017. But far from the sarcasm born from these painful memories, we are readily assumed to have curiosity for this new project, in particular because we have a lot of sympathy to Mister V.
After saving the hostages from a burger bread factory and killing the villain, McWalter withdrewbereaved following a tragic accident that occurred during the operation. A series of bombing attacks Forces him to get out of his retirement, his former agency being exceeded by events. Worse, his DNA was found on the scene of crimes, making him the main suspect. Prosecuted by his former team membersMcWalter will have to find and stop the real culprits, in order to innocent and save the world.
As generous as his pizza
Whether you like its taste or not, pizza stamped Mister V is not injured on the amount of ingredients. Maybe that’s why we always appreciated man, this feeling that he gives himself thoroughly without scaming his audience. McWalter East A film in her image, a work fully assuming what she is, even if it means displeasing.
If you are not receptive to the humor of the guy, go your way. McWalterit is a surge of jokes written by a quartet of adolescents (in the company of Vincent Tirel, Freddy Gladieux and Simon Astier) who is not afraid of aim under the belt or play wear. A successful bet, because it must be recognized that several valves have had us in the fifth or sixth recovery.
Although the footage ends up running out of steam by approaching his last thirdwe admire his marathonian rhythm that is not afraid to chain 50 ideas per minute, from the most stupid to the most inspired. The name of an agency that will operate like a running gag to a mimed sequence, McWalter n’a no subtlety, but he knows how to be inventive and extremely rich. A single sequence can thus offer us the unbearable, embarrassing, incredible, hilarious. And then we bring the friends, some more known names that come to have fun, in the image a Vincent Dedienne in freewheeling. McWalter is not there to make cinema, he has been there to give birth to three years of valves since the start of writing.
We feel that “V” has swallowed the films of his childhood and that he knows by heart the ZAZ and the works of Kad and Olivier with But who killed Pamela Rose? at the top of the list. There is This taste for absurd, generosity and parodic spirit. In many ways, it even looks more like a Is there a cop… That the recent remake with Liam Neeson simply because he does not try to be. McWalter maybe more silly that the latter, But it is above all more naturalwrites as one and long joke and not a series of sketches. In short, a band of friends who have fun.
It is also more successful than Sentinel With Jonathan Cohen (also on Video Prime) with an Egomaniac character, in the background, quite similar, thanks to An absurd knowing how to strike on several paintings And not on a single repeated loop valve. McWalter No matter how much on all levels, it is much less unbearable.
An astier can hide another
The good -natured spirit of the project is also very much due to the contribution of a certain Astier. Simon Astier. Alexander’s half-brother has proven himself with the series Hero CorpFrench parody of the superheroic genre, and he brought all his experience on McWalterboth as a scriptwriter chief and, above all, as a director.
Not only has his presence certainly served to channel the desires of the trio in order to transform a YouTube sketch into a feature film, but it must be recognized that he knew Put your camera at the service of the joke and the budget. Admittedly, the film cannot hide that it is a bit mown, however, it never seems to reduce its ambitions, even using this aspect to make humor. Astier surprises us even with a few pure action sequences suggesting that he is capable of much more behind the camera.
So, of course, McWalter do not fly high and, despite our sympathy, Mister V may not yet have the build for a first rolehis game being regularly clumsy from one scene to another. Moreover, Astier’s main defect could be in his direction of actors. His cast does not always be able to be in the good tone of the scene. Géraldine Nakache seemed to us to have a hard time positioning himself once or two in the middle of this joyful mess.

Nevertheless, the film’s Bonhomie and his desire to prohibit anything and never be afraid of making tons of them, makes the project, if not highly successful, at least strongly endearing. It does not have the impression that the film feels cynicism, the desire to make money, but rather The need to laugh with friends, with the faithful of the first day, playing a parody card far too little exploited. Yes, it’s Cretin, nevertheless, for a moron who assumes, how many morons who ignore …
