A feel-good French comedy/fantasy, set back in the 60s to maximize the contrast between the fubsy stockbroker (Fabrice Luchini) and his uptight family, on the one hand, and the soulful, earthy, flamenco-dancin', paella-eatin' Spanish criadas who live on the top floor of their Paris apartment building. It's kind of a retro version of "Spanglish," I guess, but some care has been taken to offset the potential creepiness of a romcom involving a wealthy guy played by a 60ish actor and a working-class woman played by a 35ish actress (Natalia Verbeke—she's Argentinian, not Spanish, btw). It's sweet, charming, funny, more than a little sentimental; the cast is just about perfect—Sandrine Kiberlain, one of my favorite actresses, does a great job as the stockbroker's insecure wife (a bit of a Betty Draper type, if that's not stretching a comparison). I admit that this is a fairly hackneyed comedy genre and that a number of silly and outdated national stereotypes are on display here, but somehow we still enjoyed this one very much.
