Alibi.com 2, Nicky Larson, Babysitting… Philippe Lacheau and his gang look retro for their 10 years of cinema, the opportunity to evoke some memories and their state of mind.
Since 2013, this band has accompanied us to the cinema: the Fifi band revealed by the show Le Grand journal, and successfully passed from the small to the big screen. For 10 years, the band has been launched at breakneck speed, chaining film after film and having succeeded in uniting a large audience, and this from the previews of their films.
As Alibi.com 2 hits theaters this Wednesday, we asked the team to take a look back, and tell us what this 10th anniversary of cinema inspires them.
As a reminder, Alibi.com 1 is the band’s biggest hit to date, with 3.6 million admissions (see summary table below). Released in cinemas in February 2017, Philippe Lacheau’s comedy unveils its sequel almost 5 years to the day after.
Alibi.com’s pitch 2: After closing his Alibi.com agency and promising Flo that he would never lie to her again, Greg’s new life has become quiet, too quiet… Not for long! When he decides to propose to Flo in marriage, Greg is up against the wall and must resolve to introduce his family. But between her crook father and her ex-charm movie actress mother, it is very likely to ruin her future union. He therefore has no choice but to reopen his agency with his former accomplices for an ultimate Alibi and to find more presentable false parents…
