The Under-Gifted

1980 · 92 min Comedy
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

The story centers around a graduating class of "less-gifted" students in a private Versailles high school. Only a miracle has brought the students this far along, and after a practical joke misfires and the whole school is dynamited, the students are in deep trouble. They have to present themselves in court for their punishment and it could not be worse: If they don't pass their high-school graduation exams, they go to prison!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director doesn't push the comedy pedal — lets the scene develop at its own pace. The comedic effect arises naturally, without cuing the audience.

If you're looking for light cinema for an evening — this is it. If you're looking for something that'll change your perspective on life — keep scrolling.

For those who can appreciate simple pleasure without overthinking it.

Director: Claude Zidi

Viewing atmosphere: Friday evening with food and company. Doesn't require close attention — works as background too.
