The titular garcon stupide is Loic, an ignorant (he looks up “Hitler” in an encyclopedia) Swiss dude of 20, who works in a literal chocolate factory by day and, by night, a figurative chocolate factory (as a hustler). Despite the talents of Natacha Koutchoumov (in the thankless role of a young gay man’s best girl friend) and a promising subplot involving Loic’s obsession with a hot-ass Portuguese soccer player, the film seems little more than masturbation material (there’s lotsa dick) for director Lionel Baier. And while the film stops short of being ridiculous, it also strays from being insightful – and, is nothing more than – here it comes – a film stupide.
