“Nice Girls” is a Netflix movie starring Alice Taglioni and Stéfi Celma. It is directed by Noémie Saglio.
Featuring two endearing and utterly unconventional girls, this film breaks away from the typical French high comedy stereotypes. Instead, it presents two police officers who neither dress in glamorous attire nor conform to expected behavior, creating humor through an unexpected, refreshing lens. The film is straightforward and charming, with the sole purpose of eliciting laughter.
About the Film
This comedy is unabashedly what it sets out to be: a comedy. Despite a backdrop involving corrupt cops, hackers, and more, “Nice Girls” finds its humor in witty dialogues and a slightly old-fashioned portrayal of characters who deftly navigate and subvert their own stereotypes. Imagine “Miami Vice” stripped of all its glamour, transforming its two leads into near parodies with the simple aim of providing a good time.
The film boasts clever dialogues, stunning landscapes, and a reasonably entertaining script. Within just a couple of minutes, it becomes evident that this film is not attempting to revolutionize cinema, nor does it intend to. It’s filled with absurdity and a touch of goofy humor (which we adore), compelling viewers to laugh at the antics of corrupt cops who drink on the job and ultimately know very little.
“Nice Girls” does not shine in technical prowess nor does it strive for aesthetic excellence. The true stars of the film are its dialogues, performances, and the lovable ineptitude of its characters, all working towards the singular goal of entertaining and amusing the audience.
Without causing offense, this film manages to poke fun at modern cinema and contemporary social norms. French cinema once again demonstrates its unique ability to laugh at itself, crafting a deeply French film imbued with irony and charm. The movie invites viewers to relax and simply enjoy the ride.
Our Opinion
“Nice Girls” is a straightforward and delightful film designed to provide an enjoyable experience with its slightly dated humor. While some may argue that humor from “back in the day” was superior, this film achieves its goal: delivering an hour and a half of fun in good company.
