A great concept, that is sadly barely exploited, like it is often the case in recent years. The base idea is seen once in the intro scene, once in the beginning where it fails, and we go into another story.
There are several points that are a bit over the top, a bit too cliché, almost cringe. The cop duo with the stupid one, Pauline talking to her dead husband's pictures, Lapick's fake Bond villain vibes, etc.
And yet, it contains a bunch of seriously hilarious scenes.
The story manages to go in several directions, even if some are less successfully done than others and most are predictable, so despite missing a bit on the initial concept, there's still enough to make it interesting.
A bit disappointed by the ending. Sure, it's mainly a comedy, so I guess the happy ending was a given, but it's a bit out of the blue (like, seriously ? the cops are just not looking for her ?) and inane. Would have been amazing to go full tragedy (the real driver was the son, and the son was... Elouan), that would have carried the movie to a whole other level.
This Pretty Young Woman for bad drivers started off OK but quickly detoured off a cliff of cheap cliches (stupid cops, tattooed drug dealers, ditzy women) and exploded in a flaming ball of predictability.
That said, Laure Calamy is like 3-in-1 Oil and duct tape: her amazing talent can fix anything.
