Mince Alors 2: Lola Dewaere is still excellent (review)

Charlotte de Turckheim relaunches her treatment in a continuation full of good humor.

“I’m here to fast, but I’d rather bang a 25-year-old!

After the success of Goshat the beginning of 2012 (1.5 million admissions), it took a decade to Charlotte of Turckheim to follow up. On December 22, 2021, she was back with her friends for Mince Alors 2: The Relapse. The two comedies are to be seen again tonight on M6, but in no particular order: first the sequel, then the original film.

Oh my!: The lovely success of Charlotte de Turckheim, Victoria Abril, Lola Dewaere…

Charlotte de Turckheim is back behind and in front of the camera, accompanied by Catherine Hosmalin, Lola Dewaere and Charlotte Gaccio.

How good is this sequel? Here’s our review.

The synopsis: Isabelle and her niece Nina open a “fasting and detox” cure in the heart of Provence, with the help of Baptiste, a yogi and handyman, Jessica, a tantric masseuse, and Maxime, a seductive equine therapist. Among the first spa guests are four overweight teenagers sent by the town hall; Marion and Lio, her skinny sister who imposes the cure on her “for her own good”; and their friend Émilie who, relieved of her extra pounds, discovers as soon as she arrives that her beloved husband is swooning in the arms of a man… who is clearly overweight!

The opinion of First : Nine years after bringing together more than 1.4 million spectators, Charlotte de Turckheim signs a sequel to her Gosh !. The action takes place this time in the heart of Provence where Nina (Lola Dewaere, nominated for the César for Best Newcomer at the time and still excellent) and her aunt Isabelle (Charlotte de Turckheim, in a different role than in the first part) have opened a “fasting and detox” treatment that is trying to take off. Through the spa guests who find themselves there – willingly or against their will – Charlotte de Turckheim continues her variation on the subject of excess weight and, more broadly, the physical dictates imposed on women and men in our Western societies, with the same mixture of humor, cruelty and tenderness. The intention is laudable, the sincerity total, but this second opus does not bring anything new enough in terms of the storyline compared to the first to stand out from a mechanism that leaves little room for surprises.
