This is a french comedy which scored 3 million admissions in just ten days from the writer and director Philippe DE Chauvernon.The Catholic French parents Verneuil have four daughters that marry man of different origins and religions:an Arab,a Jew and an Asian,leaving the youngest daughter,Laure to have another fortune.Soon after all the weddings,Laure introduces her fiancé Who is a Catholic yes,but he is also black.In that moment her father feels like his World is falling apart.But when her parents meet Charle s parents they get along really good.One day both Fathers go fishing and then they go to a restaurant5 where they get drunk and arrested.Laure becomes really visibly angry and refuses to marry Charles anymore.their parents try to convince her and in the end they have a beautiful wedding.The witty satire is an aspect that makes this movie riveting.Although this movie had received lots of positive reviews.I think it is a little underrated,mainly in USA.The only minor problem in this movie is the far-fetching racism ,t this film brings the smiles on our faces and really,what would you do without a little french satire?

This flick makes fun of the racism the traditional Christians have against persons of other religions, races and both of them together. In short is a great comedy I laugh my ass off and highly recommended to everyone ,apart from fanatics who lack the brain to understand the joke! So the story follows the Catholic family Verneuil, whose couple have raise their four daughter with the principals of Catholicism and Degoalism ,but and here is the comedy they have married each a different person of race and religion. The reactions of the elder against their sons in law ,are the jewel of the movie because are showing the hypocrisy of these people who call themselves Christians and they treat those who are different to them in a xenophobic manner. The fun comes from the fact that the main principal of Christianity is "love the other as I loved you" and see those people ,who say they are devout Christians ,act in such a way ,shows to me at least that you can learn to someone the principals of love ,tolerance and so on ,but to make them apply to their every day life ... is an other problem altogether! So if anyone say that he would react in a more civilized way, then I dare him to put himself or herself in to the shoes of the elderly Verneuil!If only the critics weren't so hard to it ,which shows that Christians aren't yet so good in applying their doctrine's main principals very well. Whatever just try small steps at the time.

The background of this movie alone attracted us into the theatre, imagine the possibilities the director had of playing with such a multiethnic and multicultural family. Traditional French bourgeois Catholic Caucasian couple raising four daughters, three of whom married (in that order) a Moroccan Muslim, a Jew and a Chinese, with the fourth about to enter into matrimony with a Negro-African. And the movie did not disappoint. There was non-stop laughter throughout, the stream of irony and humour flowing from one scene to another, highlighting and poking fun at the impressions, the idée fixes, the stereotypes people harbour towards members of a different ethnicity or culture. And you realize that one can unwittingly become a racist without the slightest intention, and offend even when treading most cautiously. What I liked most about this movie is its positive air, the family values it fosters, the notion that we are all members of a nation regardless of ethnicity (re: La Marseillaise scene) and the efforts each and every member of the family puts in to attain harmony (re: Marie and her turkeys). Cliché as this might seem, it is heartwarming and makes this little gem a first choice in light entertainment for the evening in this festive season.

Quite literally actually. This is crossing the border on a few occasions, but it still manages to be funny and entertaining. With a racism theme at center and a father figure who is actually someone you should be disliking, the acting and the dialog is so good, that you cannot take your eyes away from the screen.Of course your sense of humor has to fit the need and what is being served here. But the movie does not take prisoners and does not care what politically correct is. Still it manages to be sweet at the same time. It's amazing and you cannot really grip how they managed to do that, but you can watch them do it and enjoy it
