Incontrôlable (2006)
Georges, one morning, became uncontrollable despite himself. Something that has the donkey's voice in Shrek, can control his body.
What people think about Incontrôlable
Incontrôlable is the kind of high-concept comedy that grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go, powered by a delightfully absurd idea: a regular guy wakes up to find his own body hijacked by a mischievous voice with a mind of its own. The movie leans into kinetic, Jim Carrey-style physical chaos, turning everyday situations into spiraling set pieces that feel inventively staged and joyfully unhinged. It’s energetic, silly, and surprisingly clever in how it escalates its premise, keeping the laughs coming with a sense of playful momentum. If you prefer your comedy subtle or grounded, this may be too loud and cartoonish—but if you want a brisk, feel-good burst of pure comedic mayhem, it’s an easy yes.
Incontrôlable is clearly aiming for a high-concept, body-hijacked comedy where a regular guy’s life gets derailed by an intrusive voice and escalating chaos. The problem is the execution: the jokes often feel like bargain-bin slapstick, the script leans on repetition instead of clever escalation, and the tone can come off more nasty than playful. If you’re hoping for sharp writing, likable characters, or a premise that pays off with real ingenuity, this will likely feel like a chore rather than a romp. That said, if you’re very forgiving and just want broad, loud silliness with a familiar comedic voice performance, you might squeeze out a few mild laughs.
