If I were to grade this movie on how I would grade any other movie (example, plot, quality of script, etc) I would definitely not give this movie 5 stars. But however, this is such a random, hilarious movie that I had to give it 5 stars!

We recently watched this in French class a couple weeks ago. It's such a horribly cheesy, strange movie that it instantly became a classic with us and we couldn't stop laughing (One of the boys in our class stood up and clapped during the extremely cheesy method of how a boy managed to win the heart of Vic-- the main character).

It has all the good elements of a very good outrageous, over the top movie: Affairs, passion, fights, parties, and other scense that make you think, "Wow, that is wrong."

I recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor and a tolerance for corny foreign films!

As the French say, C'est tres magnifique! June 3, 2004

I saw La Boum and La Boum 2 (with Pierre Cosso- nice very nice!) when I was a teenager. I LOVE THESE MOVIES. They are probably the funniest European movies from the 80-ies.
You are going to enjoy every second of it and maybe even find yourself in them! WATCH THEM!!!

I am trying to get both parts in English for my husband and hope he will love them just like me! December 27, 2003

Like many others, I was first introduced to this movie in my French class. It is funny, a tad cheesy, but very resonating with teenagers. This movie became a staple in my French class every single year; it's the only movie we demand time after time! Sophie Marceau gives a great performance as Vic. And who can ever forget the theme song, "Reality," by Cook da Books? A definite, must-own! November 23, 2002
