Coco is a 2009 French comedy film written, directed, and starring Gad Elmaleh. The film is based on a character sketch he created for his one-man show "La Vie Normale".[2] The film earned $8.5 million in its opening weekend at the French box office,[3] and went on to gross $11.7 million in the European market.[4] Although it was a box office success, Coco was not well received by critics. It received only one star out of four from Première, Paris Match, and Télérama, and two stars from Elle and Le Journal du Dimanche.[5]
