This movie is a 'deschiens movie'. A movie by and with the french theatre company leaded by Jérôme Deschamps. They're well known in France for their short tv show ('Les Deschiens') and their great plays. They are always very realistic, poetic, and extremely funny. In the movie, the , the precise description of typical characters from deep France is still here. There's a lot funny ideas, but many of them , I think, don't work on the screen. Some actors are quite good, the picture and tone really fits the plot, but something still sounds artificial. I think it's a realization point, as if some theatrical actions or citations didn't fit the realistic tone of the whole thing. And the result is that I felt desapointed every ten minutes.
I finally like this movie, but I'm sure that the Deschamps band can do much better with experience in cinema realization.
