    After Ever Happy

    Nothing will top the shit-sucking of part two, the worst-therefore-best in the series, but this one had its moments. Here's an insane bit of dialogue:

    Doctor: "The chances are very slim that you will carry to term. [obvious ADR played over new scene] You have options. Adoption is a route that makes many people happy."

    Didn’t do anything for me, other than making me appreciate some other Dupieux films more by comparison. Real waste/misuse of Adèle Exarchopoulos.
