Review by Jérémi Roy ½ 6

Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas vu quelque chose d'aussi horrible. Je ne crois même pas que je pourrais trouver une chose positive à dire sur le film... Et Radio-Canada qui programme juste après Ego Trip, Love Projet - Ils veulent vraiment nous achever!

Pendant ce temps là à Télé-Québec on a une belle version restaurée de Les bons débarras. En tout cas.

Haïti, shake and roll. Haïti, ce n'est pas drôle.

Review by Alex Rose ★★

On a déjà vu ce film 450,000 fois — la star égoïste et fantasque qui se pense au-dessus de tout et qui se ramasse à avoir un reality check quand il ouvre un peu les yeux — mais je dois dire que les personnages sont rarement aussi puissamment détestables que le personnage de Patrick Huard l’est au début de ce film. Ça part un peu sur des chapeaux de roues à cause de ça — il est tellement cartoonesquement détestable qu’on n’est pas certain que ça nous tente de le voir avoir sa rédemption.

Le cynisme de François Avard est vraiment ce qui vient à bout de la patente. Parfois, il n’y a vraiment aucune différence entre le cynisme et…

D'après un récent sondage, l'animateur de talk-show Marc Morin n'est pas apprécié par le public québécois, qui le trouve antipathique. Alors que son émission est sur le point d'être annulée, son agent lui suggère d'aller faire un tour en Haïti, en tant que porte-parole de l'ONG québécoise SOS Monde, pour redorer son image. Réticent au préalable, Marc comprend rapidement qu'il doit opérer un changement drastique s'il veut conserver son poste. Il s'envole donc vers Haïti, où il sera accueilli par un photographe excentrique, une agente de communication particulièrement fantasque et un chanteur amateur narcissique.

Revues de presse

Défendant des personnages caricaturaux, les interprètes font leur possible.

(...) le film de Benoît Pelletier est un divertissement populaire ni bon ni mauvais, qui obtiendra certainement le succès espéré, mais que l’on aura déjà oublié dans les semaines à venir.

Cinémaniak.net

C’est seulement de très mauvais goût…

Point de vues

Un film sans âme, porté par un protagoniste si détestable, si antipathique, qu’on se crispe violemment à chacune de ses interventions.

Nulle, mais également pitoyable... 

Et, si l'intention du long métrage est bonne, l'exécution, elle, est désastreuse.

(...) n’est malheureusement pas la comédie de l’été tant souhaitée.

Films du Québec

  Ego Trip,  la pire comédie québécoise depuis  Les Dangereux  ?

En ce sens,  Ego trip  est une comédie complètement québécoise sur le choc culturel d'un petit-bourgeois aisé lorsqu'il fait face pour la première fois à autre chose que son confort nord-américain.

Huard joue gros, très gros, et de manière très affectée, à coups de mimiques faussement exaspérées (...).

Si  Ego trip  peut faire oeuvre utile un tant soit peu en suscitant la réflexion, c'est déjà ça de pris.

Movie review: ego trip doesn't travel beyond a promising starting point back to video.

Directed by: Benoit Pelletier

Starring: Patrick Huard, Antoine Bertrand, Guy Jodoin, Marie-Ève Milot, Sandrine Bisson, Gardy Fury

Running time: 105 minutes

There is the germ of a great idea lurking behind Ego Trip. But unfortunately, first-time feature filmmaker Benoit Pelletier and screenwriter François Avard aren’t able to transform that intriguing notion into anything resembling a great film.

As Avard — one of Quebec’s top comic writers — has told everyone, it all started when he visited Haiti a few years back, nearing burnout, and had trouble relating to what he saw in the troubled country.

You could imagine a brilliant satire of navel-gazing North Americans lost and delirious in a developing nation and, at points, Ego Trip contains elements of that satire. But it just doesn’t click. Yes, it spoofs the self-serving celebrity culture that uses poor exotic locales like Haiti to rebrand fading stars — hello, Bono — yet the satire doesn’t cut deep enough. The real issue, however, is the lack of laughs along the way.

Marc Morin (Patrick Huard) is a miserable creature. He’s a Québécois talk-show host whose career is going south fast. The network did a survey, and people said they just didn’t like Morin much. We don’t either.

He’s not a nice guy. He’s getting angrier and angrier with his self-destructing hosting gig, and he’s not any happier off-camera. He can’t even say ‘I love you’ to his dying father, nor can he show any real affection to his wife, Josée (Sandrine Bisson), and kids.

That’s when his agent, Paul Plante (Antoine Bertrand), comes up with the smart idea of sending him down to Haiti on a humanitarian mission. To save the world? Not exactly.

“You have to rethink your branding,” says Plante.

Well, of course he does — who doesn’t have to rethink their branding at some point? — and after getting over his reluctance, he’s on the next plane to Port-au-Prince. At first he’s no happier there, frustrated by his rundown hotel and not too thrilled with the people he’s hanging with, notably a seasoned photographer (Guy Jodoin), a cynical aid worker (Marie-Ève Milot) and an irritating would-be rapper (Gardy Fury).

Arguably the biggest issue here is there’s really no one for us to identify with. It’s giving nothing away to say that Morin will finally go through some kind of personal redemption and see the error of his ways, but it’s too little too late. The guy’s simply a horrible person you wouldn’t want to spend two minutes with.

Huard does his best to give Morin a little humanity, but he doesn’t have anything like the charm he did in, say, Starbuck. The other actors aren’t given much to work with. Bisson, who’s usually great, is a perfect example. Her character is so undeveloped that all we know about her is that she’s the long-suffering wife.

Like so many other films and novels, all of the folks who actually live in the exotic locale where the action takes place are little more than window dressing. And that is not cool at all.
