Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

chicagrrl I came here thinking "La Boum" is truly a "classic" for those who grew up in the 80s, but after reading all the comments, it appears to be a movie loved by people from around the world! Indeed, what seems so appealing about "La Boum" is its honesty, about a girl who is trying to grow up in the 80s Paris, her budding first love, her relationship with friends, and dealing with her parents' troubled marriage. Everyone wished they had grandmothers like Poupette!This was also a classic for us in my high school; we would demand to see this film year after year. It's one of the fondest memories we have of our French class - both entertaining and educational (what a great way to learn French!) - and well-liked by both genders, unlike the 80s teenage girl movies made in the U.S. There is something about this movie that compels one to watch it over and over again. 9/10.

vyto34 The script for this film is no better than for low-rent, American TV shows--unimaginative, predictable, telegraphed way in advance. Basically there are two stories, a teenage girl's coming of age, and a dentist's philandering. But neither story is developed enough so the viewer would care. No involvement is created with the characters, because the characters undergo no significant changes or growth. The cinematography is attractive, but the acting is variable. Marceau does not get to do anything beyond staring from underneath her bangs. Fossey is gorgeous and highly likable, but she does not get to do anything significant either. Brasseur is a most unfortunate choice for the dentist...he seems to have wandered in from the set next door where he was playing a Marseilles gangster. It is just too difficult to visualize him as somebody who nominally graduated dental school and not as a waterfront thug. Denise Grey is charming as the grandmother, but her part, again, is predictable and introduces nothing new.

lokika Well, I'm very glad to write some words about this film. So, I've already seen this films so much times and I have never bored it. It's youngly, great and my favourite casts are Pouppet and of course VIC!! When I've seen it first, I was littlebit touched. And of course I have watched the La Boum 2 where VIC!! was nicer than ever. I think Sophie Marceau is the nicest woman and she has to start in the Miss World, ‘cos she would win it!! Well, this was what I wanted to say. Thank you and have a good day for the IMD!

Timophey I've seen Sophie Marseau for the first time in another film, but there she is more of age and her beauty there is a beauty of an adult, not of a child, who am I. Even in Boum2 she's older and not that wonderful. With pretty music of Richard Sanderson the film becomes something that makes you dream of love, of kissing your girl, dancing with her all night through. Dreams are my REALITY, too...
