Hillarious, grim and moving.

A Customer from Belfast, Ireland, 21st August, 2007

Les Apprentis follows the lives of two both hapless and slightly inadequate young men through a rough period in their lives as their landlady sells their rent free apartment. The film focuses on the wonderful relationship that exists between the two men showing how they support and go out of their way for each other, despite seemingly only having their mutual lack of personal success in common. The unique humour of the film is also a major focus and it brings so much to the farce. There is also a very unselfconsciously challenge to stereotypes of asexual romance only existing between women. The pair continously share a bed together and they repeativly affirm that they arn't intimate and yet as the story progresses and their situation becomes increasling worse, they become closer to each other . Having left so much out for the sack of browsing all that’s left to say is this film must be seen to be appreciated, it’s excellent.

I found this movie pretty boring. It was extremely hard to watch it until the end.

Eric and Ernie en francais

A Customer from Folkestone, 11th June, 2009

A wonderful exploration of an asexual relationship between two men, whose relationship is a lot closer than 'the odd couple' yet teases you all the way through with 'are they - aren't they?' question over whether they are gay or not. They are nowhere near Eric and Ernie when it comes to comedy but, just like the comedy duo, you never need to question the fact that they occasionally share the same bed. Well worth a watch.
