A Pain in the Ass

L'Emmerdeur (2008) is a French comedy from Francis Veber — watch online on iFILM. Two men check into adjacent hotel rooms: a contract killer with a target in his sights, and a man whose only goal is to end his own life. When the connecting door opens, the hitman's clean operation is over.

Patrick Timsit plays the unstoppable nuisance; Richard Berry is the killer trying to hold his plan together against a torrent of complaints, confessions, and misplaced goodwill. Veber directed the same premise in 1973 with Lino Ventura and Jacques Brel — a film that became a French comedy staple. This remake runs on the same engine. Stream L'Emmerdeur (2008) on iFILM.
