Le bureau (2006)
mere cut & paste of Gervais' "The Office"
23 July 2006
The series on its own could have been really funny. And I have to say it is. The problem is that it's a mere cut & paste of the genuine Office, the British one. The only differences are the names -obviously- and some tiny details that wouldn't have made any sense in the French language. I don't see the point of this French version. Nicolas & Bruno truly made me laugh with their "Message à Caractère Informatif" but here, it makes me feel sorry for them. Wha's the point of simply copying..? François Berléand is yet a very talented actor and he's doing his best to play the French David Brent. To conclude, if you can understand English go for the original, you won't be disappointed. If you don't, then learn :) The (British) Office is definitely worth it, not the French one.
