In Call My Agent! The Movie, Andréa (Camille Cottin) faces a crisis after her leading man quits and she fires her producer during her directorial debut five years post-ASK’s collapse. Determined to salvage the film, she recruits her former assistant Noémie (Laure Calamy) and scrambles to recast amidst chaos. The film, a sequel to the popular TV series, cleverly satirizes the egos in the entertainment industry while featuring cameos from stars like George Clooney and Eva Longoria.
Director Émilie Noblet, alongside series creator Fanny Herrero, shifts the dynamics by placing Andréa in the producer’s seat, illustrating her struggles against the familiar chaotic backdrop of showbiz. Her desperation to keep the production afloat introduces a comic edge as old rivalries resurface, though the feature format sometimes sacrifices the series’ brisk pace. Despite its indulgence, the film manages to avoid excessive navel-gazing by treating the industry with humor rather than reverence.
Cottin shines as Andréa, blending fierce determination with a newfound need for diplomacy, making her journey relatable and amusing. Although the film’s longer format may occasionally feel overindulgent, its sharp wit and affectionate nods to the industry ensure that it remains entertaining. Overall, Call My Agent! The Movie strikes a balance between nostalgia and fresh comedy, reuniting fans with beloved characters while introducing new trials and laughter.
