Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

richard-1787 I suspect this movie grew out of the phenomenal success of Dany Boon's previous movie, Bienvenu chez les Ch'tis (2008), which set box office records in France two years before. That movie was about cultural differences between middle-class Frenchmen and the Ch'tis, the French who live in the far northeast corner of France (what was once the Nord Pas de Calais and is now trying to come up with a new name for itself). That movie plays on cultural stereotypes, true, but it is often very funny.This one is less funny, frankly, though not without laughs.This time the clash is between the French and the Belgians. More specifically, it is the story of a family of rabidly anti-French Belgians and the problems they cause for one of their own, who has had the misfortune to fall in love with a Frenchman (Boon). The jokes are usually pretty obvious, but the characters are generally likable - with the exception of the Belgian border patrol guard, who is just too extreme.You won't be bored, but I can't imagine you'd come back for seconds.

karl braun Even if the movie "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis" was a major hit in France I have to confess that it didn't really make me laugh. "Rien à déclarer" was in my opinion way better. This movie is kinda "buddy movie" which focus on the hatred that opposes Dani Boon (the french customs officer) and the always brilliant Benoit Poelvoorde (the Belgian officer). The angle used to oppose those two characters may look a bit basic but that's what makes the spectator believing the story. The movie is pretty good for the beginning till the end and the full cast is great. François Damiens had his little craziness for our own pleasure. Poelvoorde is the main character and is the one that makes this movie above average and trust me that Benoit pulls this waayy above average he makes it great ! If you like comedy and want to have your 2 hours of relaxation, this movie will delight you. Another good move from director Dani Boon. Enjoy !

simona gianotti If you have seen "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis", you will certainly recognize that same entertaining formula, based on the interaction of weird, funny characters and amusing situations, which certainly do not appear as new, but always get to please the viewer. The two main characters, the schizoid Belgian custom-officer, who hates all French people and does not welcome the unification of Europe and the more quiet and easygoing French one (interpreted by the good Dany Boon), who believes in integration and tolerance, give rise to amusing sketches, but also the other minor, clumsy, characters help create a comic atmosphere. Original, indeed, is the idea to set the funny story in the context of Europe's unification, which one would think more suitable for more serious and thought-provoking stories, although some reflection upon the consequences of the elimination of borders, is not neglected. I saw this movie in the Italian dubbed version, which was good indeed, although I think these movies, often played on the mispronunciation of words and the mocking of accents, should be seen in the original version, in order to get the real linguistic funny quality, but of course, you should master the French language very well.

Tulbi I initially didn't want to see this movie because I didn't love the first one (allthough I liked parts of it) - bienvenue chez les chtis - and because the theme seemed to be kind of the same as in BCLC.I should have gone with my initial feelings, this movie is bad.Where the humor in the first one was indeed funny and original in "RAD" (rien a declarer) it's a "schoolyard - puberty - bad parts from Ali G." kind of humor. Sometimes I felt as if this movie was a costly produced school project. Some Ideas (that (if well executed) would have been a bit funny) were shown in such an exaggerated manner (e.g. time-wise) that I laughed in the beginning. But after some minutes of depictions of ONE single joke I wanted to cry."RAD" lacks a good storytelling, the filmmaker should have realized that it is not enough to string together some "half-baked" ideas.The whole French - Belgian thing was very badly realized and the acting was also done poorly (except Francois Damiens was funny in a quiet disturbing way). To sum up I'd say that: "This movie makes you laugh because of how bad it is and because you feel obliged to pursue its comedic intend."
