Coco is a 2009 French comedy film written, directed, and starring Gad Elmaleh. The film is based on a character sketch he created for his one-man show "La Vie Normale". The film earned $8.5 million in its opening weekend at the French box office, and went on to gross $11.7 million in the European market. Although it was a box office success, Coco was not well received by critics. It received only one star out of four from Première, Paris Match, and Télérama, and two stars from Elle and Le Journal du Dimanche.
Coco est une comédie française sortie en 2009 et réalisée par Gad Elmaleh. Il s'agit de la première réalisation de l'acteur, adaptée d'un sketch dans le spectacle La Vie Normale. Coco parle de l'organisation d'une Bar Mitzvah. Gad Elmaleh, réalisateur et rôle principal, fait référence, comme dans Chouchou, à l'un des personnages vedettes de ses one man shows. Basé sur L'Éclatante, Coco est prêt à tout pour que son fils puisse bénéficier de la plus inoubliable des Bar Mitzvah.
Coco is a wealthy Sephardic Jewish businessman and an immigrant to France. After 15 years of financial success (due to his invention of a new type of sparkling water) he decides to throw an enormous bar mitzvah celebration for his son Samuel. Determined that the celebration will be the most fantastic event of the year, Coco alienates his entire family as he plans for the gala.
Gad Elmaleh writes, directs and stars in this French comedy about a businessman who risks all when he plans his son's Bar Mitzvah. After having achieved fame and wealth by inventing a new brand of mineral water, self-made immigrant businessman Coco (Elmaleh) decides that his son Samuel (Nicolas Jouxtel)'s forthcoming Bar Mitzvah will be the social event of the year. But over the coming months, as he lavishes ever more expense on his grandiose plans, he fails to notice that his new-found obsession is alienating his entire family.
