not horrible nor great

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Since the mid seventies when I first watched the films which he was played in, I have always liked him. A tremendous actor and not like the others. Most of the characters he played could have never been by other actors. Here he is an old man, who is tired by life, and whose son - Pierre Arditi - is in charge of. The face to face between the two of them is poignant, with many gripping dialogues. And the sequences with the house maids are very funny too. A bitter sweet comedy that leaves you a beautiful feeling all long this cute little feature.We are Lucky that in France we usually make this kind of light movies, so close to real daily life.
