Laura Cadieux.. la suite (1999) *
Directed by Denise Filiatrault. With Ginette Reno, Dominique Michel and Pierrette Robitaille. Remember, it ain't over until the fat lady sings. But while Reno & Co.'s can-can number is literally side-splitting (remember those dancing hippos in Fantasia?), the rest of the film is downright pathetic. Who wrote that dialogue? And while it's supposedly set on a Saguenay cruise ship, we don't even see a single rocky cliff! Did they run out of money and couldn't shot a single scene at Cap Trinité or Cap Eternité?
