  Very laboured and not very funny
  
  Given how entertainingly the problem of having an elderly sponger in the family was treated in this director's 'Tatie Danielle' I had high hopes of ... read more »

  Come on Etienne you're just cruising here
  
  Major disappointment - Etienne Chatiliez made some of the funniest French social comedies (Life is a Long Quiet River, Tatie Danielle) early in his career, but ... read more »

  Lost the plot...
  
  This film could have been promising, but lacked any kind of depth.

  silly plot and poorly acted

  Enjoyable most of the time
  
  French humor at its most frustrating at times but some interesting cultural angles well exploited. Will change the way you step out of the bathroom door.
