Movie Review by B Movie Ben
June 9th, 2008

It's a Wonderful Life

Favorite Movie Quote: "My whole life I've been in the sh*t. No one ever helped me out. Ever."

A lot of people complain about foreign movies because they hate to read subtitles. But, if you want to sample something funny and familiar, you could not do better that this French film by director Luc Besson, a director I see frequently with films like Nikita, Leon (The Professional), The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, and The Fifth Element.

It is a familiar story that basically begins with a man (Jamel Debbouze) who is so far down the only place for him is off the bridge. An angel appears and saves him. You know that story don't you? You watch it every Christmas.

I would rather have Rie Rasmussen saving me than Clarence any day. Hot is an understatement for her! Just like the Capra flick, this will have a happy ending, but with a little twist. That's Besson for you!
