The Players is a 2012 omnibus comedy film starring Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche, with each of them also directing and writing a segment.

Plot

Series of vignettes about the theme of male infidelity and its adulterous variants.

Controversy

The posters for the film on which Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche can be seen in suggestive positions attracted accusations of sexism. The French professional authority of regulation for advertising received four official complaints accusing the posters of sexism. Following this controversy, the posters were taken down, and the distributor excused himself.
Jean Dujardin refers to I mostri by Dino Risi.
The original copy of the film included a scene where a man talks to a woman while a plane crashes into the World Trade Center. Reportedly, this scene has been censored to have better chances to get an Academy Award for Jean Dujardin.

Cast

An Italian remake of the same name was released in 2020.
