Les francs-tireurs

A group of friends are tired of being told what to do by the media and decide to create their own fake news to prove how easily people are manipulated. Their 'fake news' starts to gain traction and leads to unexpected and comical consequences.

The film was met with a mixed to negative reception from critics, who often found the humor to be predictable and the satirical elements heavy-handed. Audiences, however, showed more enthusiasm, appreciating the lighthearted approach to a relevant social issue.

• The film's premise offers a potentially sharp satire on fake news, but it's often undermined by broad humor.
• Performances, particularly from the lead actors, are a saving grace for some.
• While some viewers found it amusing and thought-provoking, many critics felt it lacked genuine wit and originality.

Google audience: Audience reviews generally praise the film for its entertaining and accessible take on the topic of fake news, with many finding it funny and relatable. Some viewers felt the message was a bit too obvious, but overall it was seen as a decent comedy.
