French actor-director Guillaume Canet’s follow-up to his 2010 monster hit reunites stars François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard and, in a cameo, Jean Dujardin. With lots on his mind, Max takes off for a long weekend alone in his beach house. Three years after they all fell out, his buddies spring a surprise birthday party on him. The surprise is total and Max’s welcome nothing less than reserved. He presents a happy front that rings hollow landing the group in unexpected situations. Children have grown, babies have been born, priorities have changed. When everybody decides to stop telling their little white lies, what remains of friendship?
