'Merci Docteur Rey!' is described as a gay comedy from 2002. If that sounds worrisome to you, it should. Movies in 2002 weren't known for being very subtle, especially when it comes to gay tropes. That means you're going to get some of the worst comedy you've ever seen, all in the name of being farcical.
I could try to describe the plot to you, but it makes my brain hurt just reading a plot summary to try and understand it. Since I've never seen it, I can't give you first-person notations on my thoughts on the film. That being said, if you're going to make a gay comedy, do it right. We can all count the number of gay-centric films on our hand. Don't blow it for everyone else by making crud like this.
