The director Alain Chabat may have a theory on the reasons for the failure of his comedy “Rrrrrrr !!!” with the general public.
Often presented as a flop while he still totaled 1.7 million admissions, the comedy Rrrrrrr !!! Directed by Alain Chabat above all experienced very severe criticisms from the press and the public when he was released in January 2004.
Carried by the troupe of the Robin des Bois-Pierre-François Martin-Laval dit Pef, Marina Foïs, Jean-Paul Rouve, Elise Larnicol, Maurice Barthélemy and Pascal Vincent-Gérard Depardieu and Alain Chabat himself, this prehistoric comedy has an average allociné of 2.6 out of 5 according to the press and 2.4 out of 5 according to the spectators. Despite completely correct recipes, the bad reception of the film was difficult to experience by its participants.
Chabat-analysis

For the gross mediaAlain Chabat, recently co-author of an animated series Asterix for Netflix, returned to this failure of his career, analyzing that the film perhaps contained things that only made him laugh:
“I saw a little bit of rrrrrrr !!! A long time ago. Me, there are things in Rrrrrrr !!! Who make me scream with laughter and I see that in the room, I am the only one to laugh. (…) Clearly, I am alone on it.”
“There is a discussion between the chief – Maurice Barthélémy, Pef, Marina and Elise Larnicol who plays the chef's wife. (…) and it discusses, it's a wide plan, and at one point the chef takes a stick and throws a stick and his wife runs to look for him like a dog. And the timing of this thing makes me laugh a lot because everyone is ultra serious, good that, I’m looked with several people and I was the only one laughing at this thing. “
“A huge slap”
Studiocanal
Rrrrrrrr !!! will actually be very badly received, “a slap ” For Pierre-François Martin-Laval, one of the main actors in the film, who recently confided that this failure had undoubtedly led to the end of the Robin of Woods as a troop:
“Everyone said [que c’était nul]. It's a huge slap. Because we have put so much passion, laughter, and so much work … We wrote the script for more than two years, including 10 or 12 months with Alain Chabat. We were very sad. It broke us a bit, too. I don't even know if it didn't separate us. And then I don't want to say more than the others, but it's true that I found myself without work. So there, it was a little crossing of the desert for almost two years, what … “
“We found him funny, our film”
His friend Jean-Paul Rouve, also part of the adventure, confirms these words: “Alain [Chabat] lived it badly. Yes, we all lived it badly, and I have a little less because I was lucky, at the same time as it came out, I was released podium which was a big success. All of a sudden, you are in this mixture, so you suffer less than your friends. I know PEF has suffered a lot. It is the life of cinema. And we found him funny, our film, and he became cult. “
