Someone was at the Saatchi Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes this year...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is looking a lot like Fuerza Bruta, a show I saw in NY.
Copycat ?
I have the same feeling.
wait a minute. When it's the Saatchi Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes that take their inspiration from a theater show made by the collective fuerza bruta, it is cool, but when an ad does the same thing it is suddently a copy ?
I've seen both and for me the saachi is a direct copy and the ad is probably inspired by that show but doesn't look at all like a copy to me.
have a look for yourself:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fuerza Bruta was invited by Saatchi & Saatchi for their presentation. So we can't talk about any kind of copy. It's an invitation.
But that Molson Dry shit seems like a copy/paste of the FB show -treadmill, walking through screens (instead of boxes). It looks like someone is missing imagination or revamping other's idea.
But anyway, this ad left me with a WTF on my mind. What's that party legend thing, and what's the point with the sponsor ? There something I really don't get.
Beautiful execution. Poor imagination (mostly recycled stuff) and zero in comprehension.
Don't think we'll see this piece in Cannes !
that's exactly what I was thinking.
but for those not present in this year's Cannes and seeing this for the 1st time, it's quite good
Good… but for a beer ???

I absolutely don't get it. What's the point with that sponsorship thing ? Is she a well known athlete down in Canada ?
My first impression was: WDF ???
There is something I really don't get here.
I also felt a lot of "me too" in that spot, having seen the Saatchi show in Cannes.
well, at least the girl works. :) she could sell anything for me.
Ya I agree, it's nicley executed but then you get to the end and you're like WTF does that have to do with beer?!
agreed
i'v seen that ad before, they have created a league of partying. The Association of party pros really exist. I think it's clever.

this was on this site:
Molson Dry is a local beer brewed in Montreal, Canada. Montreal is well
known throughout North America as a wild, party city and people from Quebec
have a reputation of being party animals.
Based on this insight, and the fact that Quebecers love having this
reputation, we positioned Molson Dry as the ultimate party beer by creating
the Association of Party Pros. The APP exists to make partying into a
professional sport and offer those athletes with passion, stamina and
natural talent, the recognition they deserve.
Some time after the launch of the APP, we announced that the association had
signed a deal with a sponsor and that Molson Dry would now be the Official
Beer of the APP. With the sponsorship money, the sport of partying could now
compete in the same leagues as other professional sporting bodies.
With such natural, home-grown talent, as in any professional sport, we are
currently creating an APP team to represent Quebec in international matches.
APP Scouts are selecting the 18 party pros from all Molson Dry APP Circuit
parties to represent their province at their favourite sport. The first
international fixture of APP TEAM QUEBEC will be in Prague, March 2009.
With partying firmly established as a professional sport and with Molson Dry
as the official beer of the APP, it’s only a matter of time before the
reputation of Quebec and it's party pros goes from national to
international.

hilarius ad.....lol I can't stop laughing about the weird action scenes... xD
really well done. if it wasn't for beer. because uh, yeah... because i know several party-goers, who drink tons of beer and can run like the woman in this ad, and have toned bodies and a healthy appearance.
Wow, this this rubbish, very $$ looking rubbish.
wait a minute. When it's the Saatchi Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes that take their inspiration from a theater show made by the collective fuerza bruta, it is cool, but when an ad does the same thing it is suddently a copy ?

i was also wht the fuck at the end but i found out what all this is about here:
http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2008/molson-dry-media-under-pressure/
Canadian beer Molson Dry, brewed in Montreal, is presented as the ultimate beer in a campaign centered around The Association of Party Pros. The APP (www.produparty.com) exists to make partying into a professional sport and offer those athletes with passion, stamina and natural talent, the recognition they deserve.
As in any pro sport, when you’re a party pro competing at the highest level, pressure from the media can be one of your toughest opponents. And never more so than when your sport is partying.
Some time after the launch of the APP, it was announced that Molson Dry would be the Official Beer of the APP. With the sponsorship money, the sport of partying could now compete in the same leagues as other professional sporting bodies.

Thanks to the agency for trying to save the show.
But we still feel it's pretty weak in terms of comprehension.
And I must agree with that deja vu feeling most of you were sharing.
GD.
The girl is Bulgarian and the whole commercial was made in Bulgaria
Totally Kool!! Any way a beer company can get involved in parties and water cooler conversations is effective advertising.
