Details: Amazon.ca Precursor, in Quebec, of a genre that still pays off big (heavyweight comedy), Cruising Bar does not do lace but demonstrates, four times rather than once, that Michel Côté is an actor who has slaughter. The duo of screenwriter Claire Wojas and director Robert Ménard has tackled all genres, from T'es belle, Jeanne to L'Enfant d'eau. Here, the duo aim for the quality of Awful, Dirty and Wicked, but instead reach the level of Elvis Gratton in these side stories of four stereotype seducers. It is Michel Côté who embodies them all: Jean-Jacques, the peacock, narcissistic seducer; Gérard, the bull, big step complicated; Patrice, the lion, a manic-depressive cocaine fuel; and Serge, the worm, the ugly creature ridiculed by everyone. Cruising Bar is situation comedy in all its splendor… or all its horror, depending on your point of view. Rather than a scathing character study, Robert Ménard serves us here a gallery of caricatures, a series of uneven sketches in which characters without substance move about. However, we can only salute the tour de force of Michel Côté, astounding in each of the four roles. Too bad the screenplay isn't up to par... --Éric Fourlanty
