I've been going to Paris for the thick end of twenty years specifically to gorge myself on French movies and for the very first time I have been faced with v.o. (version originale, i.e. English) everywhere I look. Where in an average year I would expect to see a good dozen new French offerings I was lucky to find three of which this was the most all-round entertaining. There's not a lot to it; Jose Garcia, taking his family on vacation attempts to beat the queues by setting the speedometer on his state-of-the-art dashboard at 130 kilometres per hour then sets off the wrong way. You can, if you put your mind to it, extract a reasonable amount of mileage from a premise like that and it does no harm at all if you have Andre Dussollier along for the ride.
