La Boum

so French 80s - J 'adore

The movie is super, but I didn't realize that it didn't have English subtitles.

I saw this cinematic masterpiece with my French class, and we were amazed and utterly captivated by the lush story of French teenaged despair. We felt close to Vic, as we could identify with her trauma and her crush on Mattieu. Vic's parents seemed similar to my French class' parents, and so did Vic's school, with its social hierarchy and innocent parties. I feel that "La Boum" truly makes a substantial effort to bridge the cultural gap in between American teenagers and their French peers. This effort is successful in my opinion, as our class found that we were laughing with Vic, crying with her, and screaming with her at her frustrating parents. We lived through "La Boum" in the shoes of a completely foreign and strange girl, and found that we weren't that much different, after all. "La Boum" made an impact on us more than "Goodburger" or "Totoro" ever could.

For those who grew up watching the "American Pie" movies, the "La Boum" films must seem silly, harmless and bland. If you expect to see a lot of nudity and hear a lot of raunchy jokes, don't bother with this movie. If you want some harmless family fun and some conversational French practice - rent or buy "La Boum".

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!

I watched both parts of "La Boum" for the first time when I was about 12 years old. You can imagine how surprised I was when I found this movie on this website. This movie will definitely be appreciated by those who like French language, French cinematography and Sophie Morceau. It's a great listening practice. I don't want to go into details: if you want to know what it's about - watch it. It was made in 80s, and it makes it even more interesting.

I wasn't into foreign films, but my sister said this was a movie worth watching. After is saw "La Boum", I wanted to see it again, and again, and again. I am not sure how may times I watched that movie! Marceau enchants you into her french teenage world of boys, friends, and family. "La Boum" is and always will be my favorite movie, it is timeless!

I ordered without really checking the description, so I was a little sad to see that there were no English subtitles because my French isn't amazing, but I got over it. That is until the package arrived TORN AND DAMAGED oh my goodness. The box was broken, and the slip cover is literally slipping out. I thought maybe it had broken on the way over but then there would be pieces of the box inside the envelope--there weren't. The disc? Lord it looks like Freddy Kruger dropped it in his trash disposal. The disc plays with no error so I guess my only complaint is the fact that I paid SEVENTEEN bucks for this when instead I should have paid 25 cents and a potato. What did I do to deserve this? It is because I'm American? If it's my karma then I must have betrayed my country in a past life. I am so sad.
