Rated 4.4/5 – Audrey Fleurot’s Best 2010s Comedy is a French Cinema Smash Hit!

Named France’s favorite actress by IFOP in 2023, Audrey Fleurot has become a prominent figure in the French entertainment scene. While she has appeared in many films, it is her roles in television series that have truly captured the audience’s attention.

She first gained recognition from 2005 to 2009 in “Kaamelott” as the iconic Lady of the Lake, followed by a standout performance in “Le Bazar de la Charité” (2019), and then achieving massive popularity with “HPI” (since 2021). “Le Bazar de la Charité” found a broad international audience on Netflix, while “HPI” has attracted up to 10 million viewers per episode, making it one of the most successful French TV series of the 21st century.

Since Wednesday, she has been co-starring in the comedy “Les Parfait(s): Family Scams” alongside Ramzy Bedia, Bernard Farcy, and Alan Cumming.

In this film directed by Ludovic Bernard, they play a family of con artists on the run. Their only option? Assume the identity of an unremarkable family—the Parfaits—and take refuge in Scotland. Between overly curious colleagues and a mysterious neighbor, their double life quickly becomes complicated: the fake Parfaits find themselves in the middle of the heist of a lifetime. With crazy plans, wild disguises, and astonishing gadgets, this unique family must prove they are more than perfect to succeed.

The Top-Rated Film Is…

Audrey Fleurot has shone not only on television but also in cinema. Among her filmography, the top-rated film by AlloCiné viewers is “Intouchables”, which has garnered over 126,000 ratings.

This massive French and international success, directed by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, was even adapted in the United States. “Intouchables” has an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 from viewers and drew more than 19 million admissions in France, becoming one of the greatest triumphs in French cinema.

Released in 2011, “Intouchables” features François Cluzet and Omar Sy in a now-iconic duo. The film follows Philippe, a wealthy aristocrat who becomes quadriplegic after an accident, who hires Driss, a young man from the suburbs with no experience and fresh out of prison, as his live-in caregiver. Despite their differences—social backgrounds, life paths, worldviews—their encounter sparks a relationship full of energy, humor, and tenderness. In “Intouchables”, Audrey Fleurot plays Magalie, Philippe’s personal assistant, a supporting role notable for her sharp humor and comedic chemistry with Omar Sy. It is also her highest-rated film on AlloCiné from the press’s perspective.

Audience Reviews

Moket (5/5): “The comedies by Nakache and Toledano are always funny, touching, tender, and nostalgic. This one is no exception. Hilarious and moving, the film is perfect from start to finish: the dialogue is superbly written, François Cluzet is very strong using just his face, and Omar Sy is radiant, finding his most beautiful role here. The comedy of the year!”

Gizmo129 (5/5): “‘Intouchables’ is simply THE comedy of the 2010s in France. An immediate box office success, a moving and funny film, known by everyone, that has elevated it to the pantheon of French comedies alongside ‘Le Diner de Cons’, ‘La Soupe aux Choux’, and ‘La Grande Vadrouille’; each era has its comedy. Such high praise for this film comes because it addresses disability without falling into pathos, maintaining pleasant humor that sometimes defuses a situation or emphasizes a gaping wound. Always funny through the clash of two social classes, the film’s success lies in the perfect chemistry between François Cluzet and Omar Sy.”

CH1218 (5/5): “Inspired by the lives of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, who became quadriplegic following a paragliding accident, and Abdel Yasmin Sellou, his home-care aide, whose personalities and social backgrounds are diametrically opposed. From this unlikely meeting, a beautiful and sincere friendship emerges and solidifies. Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache brilliantly succeeded in their challenge: to make a real comedy on a delicate and difficult subject.”

Fandecaoch (5/5): “‘Intouchables’ is a huge favorite for me. I absolutely loved it, it was huge, I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed by this film, which is a pure marvel. And especially, I laughed, laughed, and even cried laughing at some moments: it has been a long time since I laughed so much. This film is truly hilarious. A big ‘Bravo’, especially on such a delicate subject. And there’s also emotion, hope, and good cheer exuding from this film. And the duo François Cluzet – Omar Sy, what can I say: they are just exceptional and their duo works wonderfully. A big ‘Bravo’ to these two actors who transmit their good humor. I wish this film had lasted even longer because it was so great. I highly recommend it. Don’t miss it, because you come out of this film in a great mood, and that’s really nice. One of the best films of the year. A huge favorite but also a pure masterpiece.”

Plume231 (4/5): “Fully justified success for this popular film, in the noblest sense of the word, which never falls into easy emotions or worse into miserabilism, preferring largely the politeness of humor which works here to death. The duo François Cluzet-Omar Sy is superb, the writing, which never falls too much into the clichés of the genre, and the well-paced directing, while taking care to carefully develop its characters, ensure that one does not get bored even for a microsecond. A great success that is one of the most effective and powerful treatments one could prescribe against the prevailing gloom.”

Akamaru (4/5): “Supported by unanimous praise (press and audience), ‘Intouchables’ fulfills all its promises, and is indeed the comedy of the year 2011. Anyway, how could one be disappointed by the director duo Éric Toledano / Olivier Nakache, who have always hit the mark with their engaging comedies, navigating easily between laughter and tears. ‘Intouchables’ is the culmination of their vision of cinema, where the most contradictory emotions jostle in the same scene.”
