<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 1984 – 92′ – Comedy, Adventure, Classic. 2K Restoration by Gaumont! In Les Comp\u00e8res, master of comedy Francis Veber ingeniously blends elements of buddy movies, thrillers and teen comedy into an endearing French screwball classic. The comic chemistry of Pierre Richard (The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe) and G\u00e9rard Depardieu (Camille Claudel, Green Card), introduced in Veber\u2019s La Ch\u00e8vre, energizes this antic adventure with infectious charisma and sincerity. When her 16-year-old son runs away from their Paris home, Christine (Anny Duperey, You Ain\u2019t Seen Nothin\u2019 Yet) sidesteps her stubborn husband and separately convinces two former lovers that they are each the boy\u2019s father. Duped into a sense of responsibility for a son they never knew, brawling newspaperman Lucas (Depardieu) and fragile neurotic Pignon (Richard) follow the boy\u2019s trail to Nice and proceed to pack decades\u2019 worth of dubious parenting into a few manic days battling Riviera bikers, casino racketeers and most often each other. Depardieu and Richard\u2019s expert timing and interplay allows this tender farce to unfold with a breakneck pace that belies the honest sentiment at its heart. Les Comp\u00e8res was remade in Hollywood as Fathers\u2019 Day, starring Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n THE COMDADS (LES COMPERES) | 1984 – 92′ – Comedy, Adventure, Classic.
