Yes it is LES COMPERES back again but no they have managed to get more action out of the concept than the re-made Veber film.Magnate Berléand can't forget the mother and child he abandoned, fingering the crayon letter he was sent twenty plus years back, and sets out to make amends, asking about the girl at the village boozer, to be told her dad is in the back room. Enter Jugnot - who has the Midas touch right now.Everyone is pretending to be something they are not - or maybe they are. The old hands are right on top of their act and the young TV personalities do beautiful people endearingly. Production values are superior. Much conspicuous consumptionI really enjoyed that.English sub-titles on the French DVD are not much good.

The concept is completely out there (don't worry, won't spoil it for you if you don't know what it is yet). But it does really work, because the actors really throw themselves into it. It does have flaws (as every other movie too), but overall the feeling is a good one. Another french comedy that aims and hits the target. Seems like they're onto something there.The beginning alone is comedy gold. The way the french make fun of themselves is a sight to be seen. Or a scene to be seen in that case. You could say it's an inside joke, but I think a lot of people know that the french are not that fond of the English language, so making that a topic right off the start is a good thing. Plus it will indicate if you think this is something worth watching or not. Ridiculous it may seem, but it still has a lot of heart in it!
