About
If you want a goofy French stunt-and-romance comedy with big energy and frequent misadventures, Animal delivers charm and physical humor; Not for you if you dislike dated jokes or want a deeper, more substantial story like The Wing or The Thigh?
Pros: bickering stunt romance; lots of slapstick; charismatic leads | Cons: thin story; dated attitudes; uneven chemistry
