Cruising Bar 2 is a 2008 Canadian comedy film, directed by Robert Ménard and Michel Côté.[1] A sequel to the 1989 film Cruising Bar, the film stars Côté as the same four separate characters he played in the original film, now dealing with much more middle-aged sexual and relationship issues.[2]
Gérard's wife Gertrude (Véronique Le Flaguais) has finally had enough of his constant infidelity, and is filing for divorce; Patrice is in a downward spiral after his girlfriend breaks up with him; Jean-Jacques is struggling with erectile dysfunction issues which have led his psychiatrist to suggest that he might actually be gay; Serge, perennially unlucky in love, tries Internet dating which may finally change his life for the better.[3]
The film's cast also includes Marie-France Duquette, Chantal Dauphinais, Lise Roy, Noémie Yelle and Hélène Major.
Awards
[edit]Côté received a Jutra Award nomination for Best Actor at the 11th Jutra Awards,[4] and the film's make-up team (Adrien Morot, Réjean Goderre, Marie-France Guy, Bruno Gatien, Nathalie Trépanier) won the Genie Award for Best Makeup at the 29th Genie Awards.[5]
It was the top-grossing Quebec film of 2008, and was awarded Telefilm Canada's Guichet d'or[6] and Québec Cinéma's Billet d'or.[7]
