After watching and loving Artois, I went over to Rottentomatoes — sorry I did. I found only one review, by someone named Phil Hall at Film Threat. From his despicable review: "Filmmaking siblings Cliff and Kyle Bogart try to compensate for the film’s impoverished concept by drowning the viewer in a surplus of cutesy sight gags and weird camera angles. The result is a visually atrocious mess that tries much too hard to be funny. The young leads aren’t much help – Scheimber is constantly doing a third-rate approximation of Jim Carrey’s shtick and Andrews just cannot act."
As an old guy who has seen much of this world—with all the failures that entails—I stand firmly with the folks here who love this little tough-minded, yet lyrical film complete with a life lesson (here quoting Joe Campbell), "Follow your bliss."
If you hated it, that's OK, but clearly Artois struck a chord you might want to worry about. Talk with your mother.
