SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

filippaberry84 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.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

dbdumonteil A movie which was certainly overrated by the critics when it was theatrically released :caustic,nasty ,with something of Italian comedy "Affreux Sales Et Méchants " ;well it's not exactly that : proof positive is given by the ending, the most hackneyed trick of the French eighties you can think of.Fortunately ,the actors carry the movies : Josiane Balsako has plenty of go and is quite funny as this mother's helper ,sick and tired of this tribe she cannot get rid of;Victor Lanoux reprises the kind of part he played in Yves Robert 's "Un Elephant Ca Trompe Enormement" : a good-natured hubby whose wife walked out on him to live with a CRS (= member of the riot police);but here he's got all his children in tow .The funniest moments are to be found in the first half:-the old granny they take to the hospital after her death ("what can they do,if she's kicked the bucket?)-the family , stealing from the supermarket ("I've got a calculator and there are the logarithms ,says the precocious brat") unbeknownst to dad who keeps on playing his accordion.-the lovely nostalgic song " Le Dernier Twist " which captures a sliver of the sound and innocent spirit of the French early sixties.On the other hand ,the second song , a would be hard rocker "Trip HLM " sung in a shrill voice by one of daddy's girls ,makes me put my fingers in my ears .The second half is less entertaining:Dominique Lavanant as a transsexual ,well.. ("I was Pierrot ,now I'm Rita" ,get it?)
