For fans of the French comedy series Call My Agent!, the new film offers a lighthearted, if slightly uneven, follow-up. The original series, which aired over four seasons and was later available on Netflix, was praised for its clever mix of humor and French pop culture. Created by Dominique Besnehard and written by Fanny Herrero, the show centered on the daily antics of a Paris-based casting agency. Its charm came from blending real-life celebrities with the fictional characters, a concept that initially faced resistance from some A-list stars. Over time, the series gained popularity and brought fame to its cast, particularly Camille Cottin and Laure Calamy. The film picks up five years after the series ended, following Andréa, who is now directing her first feature film, and Noémie, who is producing a TV series. Both work at the same company as their former boss, Mathias, who is also Noémie’s romantic partner. The plot quickly spirals into chaos when Andréa’s star actor, Laurent Lafitte, backs out, and she fires her producer. Noémie steps in, but her awkward attempts to secure George Clooney’s participation lead to a failed casting effort. Instead, the team recruits Vincent Macaigne, who plays a version of himself—known for his brooding, self-deprecating persona. The film's humor stems from the absurdity of the situation, with the cast facing a series of mishaps during the shoot in the south of France. These include actors punching each other, a wild boar causing trouble, and a storm destroying equipment. For longtime fans of the series, these moments provide a sense of nostalgia and familiarity, with the same witty banter and camaraderie among the former agents. However, the film struggles to live up to the legacy of the series. The original show thrived on its deep connection to French cinema and its ability to bring together a wide range of stars, from established actors to internet personalities. In contrast, the film focuses heavily on Macaigne’s character, who is portrayed in a way that limits his range and overshadows the comedic moments. His co-star, Laetitia Casta, has little to do beyond a single punch to the nose, and the film’s attempt at humor—like the police not recognizing the actors at a protest—feels a bit too on-the-nose. While the film features glamorous cameos from George Clooney and Eva Longoria, it may not attract new viewers unfamiliar with the series. For fans, it’s a watchable but ultimately disappointing conclusion to the Call My Agent! universe, leaving them to hope for another season.
