Mark Bourne
It's not a great film, but we sure enjoyed it more than many bigger films that try harder to convince us they're great.
A winning amalgam of MySpace-ish self-involvement, digital video immediacy and 'Hey kids, let's put on a show' gumption.
Joshua Rothkopf
Suburban teenage frustration: Didn't it always go down best with a salty side of Journey? Or the Smiths?
Sura Wood
A little rough around the edges, this likable movie is filled with adolescent angst, youthful energy and hope.
Kyle Smith
The songs sound like they were recorded on a toy synthesizer in someone's basement, and neither of the two male leads can sing.
Manohla Dargis
An itty-bitty movie with a great big heart, Colma: The Musical is about how we learn to give voice -- joyfully, honestly, loudly -- to the truest parts of ourselves.

He has let out part of it to up and coming cook Franck (Guillaume Canet), a gruff young loner and womaniser with a genuine love for his frail grandmother, Paulette (Francoise Bertin). When Camille falls ill, Philibert insists she stay with the two of them so he can look after her. And even though she and Franck clash, the trio manage to live together and learn from each other © 2006 Pathé Production - TF1 Film Production (Original Title: ENSEMBLE, C'EST TOUT)

What on earth is going on? Nadia is about to celebrate her birthday and Titeuf wasn't invited! Why not? How could she have forgotten him, given the well-rehearsed, super-seductive attitude he puts on every time their paths cross? But bigger disasters will push Titeuf's world further into chaos as once again adults prove just how lame they can be. They're always complicating everything. Titeuf is about to be pulled in every direction: between Grandma's house in the country, sessions with his shrink and important meetings on the playground. True to form, Titeuf will try to decipher what is happening to him and will devise many disastrous strategies to fix his ailing life... All this, of course, without ever losing sight of his true objective: to be invited to Nadia's birthday party! © 2011 Moonscoop-Pathé Production-France 3 Cinema-Pointprod SA- RTS (Original Title: TITEUF, LE FILM)

This offbeat musical drama concerns Lucas (Bénabar), an up-and-coming singer who spends 10 years from the 1990s through the 2000s working his way up to the top of the French pop scene. Unfortunately, he only manages to do so by stealing the tunes of his songwriter friend Thomas, who has vanished into thin air. When Thomas suddenly reappears at the height of Lucas's success, then, it threatens to bring everything that Lucas has worked so hard to build violently crashing down. © 2009 Same Player - Pathé Production - Scope Pictures - Weber investissements (Original Title: INCOGNITO)

At first, he proves to be the worst nightmare for the Chairman and Cruise Director (Gérard Darmon). But gradually, Rémy finds his way on this floating palace, and with it, love and success.

Lol (Laughing Out Loud)
Comedy
3
LOL? It means "laughing out loud" in text language. It is also the name that Lola's friends have given her. However, when it is time to go back to school after summer break, Lola doesn't feel much like laughing. Arthur, her boyfriend, provokes her by telling her that he cheated on her over the summer. And her gang of pals is very gifted at complicating matters. Just like her mother, Anne, with whom life has become impossible, and not only because she has no idea what LOL means. That her parents have divorced is one thing, but that Anne treats her teenage daughter like a child, by lying to her about basic things - like the fact that she is still seeing her ex-partner on the sly, or that a cop is interested in her - is another. As for Anne, she wonders what on earth has happened to her sweet little daughter. From fusion to confusion, mother-daughter relationships simmer with love and plenty of LOL. © PATHÉ PRODUCTION - BETHSABÉE MUCHO - TF1 FILMS PRODUCTION - M6 FILMS (Original Title: LOL (LAUGHING OUT LOUD))
All That Glitters (Tout ce qui brille)
Comedy

Who has never been ashamed of Mom's new hairdo, Dad's bad jokes, that velvet couch in the living room, a childhood friend who obviously doesn't get it? Lila and Ely live just the other side of the bridge from Paris. Like sisters, they share dreams of a new life across the river... and of those incredible, trendy shoes. Through lies big and small, they attempt to pass seemlessly into a world that is not their own, a world of luxury where anything is possible. But all that glitters... © 2010 VERTIGO PRODUCTIONS - PATHE PRODUCTION - M6 FILMS - BETHSABEE MUCHO (Original Title: TOUT CE QUI BRILLE)
