BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

tankace This flick makes fun of the racism the traditional Christians have against persons of other religions, races and both of them together. In short is a great comedy I laugh my ass off and highly recommended to everyone ,apart from fanatics who lack the brain to understand the joke! So the story follows the Catholic family Verneuil, whose couple have raise their four daughter with the principals of Catholicism and Degoalism ,but and here is the comedy they have married each a different person of race and religion. The reactions of the elder against their sons in law ,are the jewel of the movie because are showing the hypocrisy of these people who call themselves Christians and they treat those who are different to them in a xenophobic manner. The fun comes from the fact that the main principal of Christianity is "love the other as I loved you" and see those people ,who say they are devout Christians ,act in such a way ,shows to me at least that you can learn to someone the principals of love ,tolerance and so on ,but to make them apply to their every day life ... is an other problem altogether! So if anyone say that he would react in a more civilized way, then I dare him to put himself or herself in to the shoes of the elderly Verneuil!If only the critics weren't so hard to it ,which shows that Christians aren't yet so good in applying their doctrine's main principals very well. Whatever just try small steps at the time.

santiagocosme I love french cinema! Whether it is a comedy or a drama, an action film or a documentary, French cinema always does it for me. Being of French origin probably helps, so I hope my views on this movie are not too biased.I laughed all along. It's all I can say! I enjoyed every minute of our protagonists (a traditional French couple) trying to cope with their 4 daughters marrying men of non- French origins: an African, an Arabic, a Jew, and a Chinese. As a negative note, I would say some of the actors are a little weak and/or the scenes are a little forced, but you'll forget it quickly enough when you are caught bursting into laughter over and over again. I could not recommend it highly enough. You will laugh, surely. If you don't, I'll give you your money back.

AkelaLoneWolf The background of this movie alone attracted us into the theatre, imagine the possibilities the director had of playing with such a multiethnic and multicultural family. Traditional French bourgeois Catholic Caucasian couple raising four daughters, three of whom married (in that order) a Moroccan Muslim, a Jew and a Chinese, with the fourth about to enter into matrimony with a Negro-African. And the movie did not disappoint. There was non-stop laughter throughout, the stream of irony and humour flowing from one scene to another, highlighting and poking fun at the impressions, the idée fixes, the stereotypes people harbour towards members of a different ethnicity or culture. And you realize that one can unwittingly become a racist without the slightest intention, and offend even when treading most cautiously. What I liked most about this movie is its positive air, the family values it fosters, the notion that we are all members of a nation regardless of ethnicity (re: La Marseillaise scene) and the efforts each and every member of the family puts in to attain harmony (re: Marie and her turkeys). Cliché as this might seem, it is heartwarming and makes this little gem a first choice in light entertainment for the evening in this festive season.

Luigi Di Pilla It's just unbelievable but the French film industry releases every year one blockbuster after one. With low budget and great fantasy the film makers succeeds in creating very funny masterpieces. Of course this comedy doesn't like everybody. There are some questions about racism and religions. But every detail is well mixed with a certain portion of humor. If you want to spent a good time without taking all serious this is for you. Every actor did a great performance and the director had a good hand with this idea.If you are looking for other funny French movies then see Rien a Declarer, Tais Toi, Les Intouchables, l'Enquete Corse, Vilaine or Bienvenue chez les Chti's. Read therefore my critics. Final Rating 10/10.
