ThiefHott Too much of everything
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
leplatypus It's a comedy in which french hicks friends trick a rich old man migrated to New Zealand into believing they are his family. It could have been really funny but one of them thinks it's too much, not very honest, drags her feet and acts like a prisoner waiting the death row.. The problem is that this family member is Alexandra Lamy… For me, Chouchou is an happy woman, full of wit and smiles so every time she tries to be serious and dramatic, I don't get it: maybe I'm dumb but that's me. So Alex is not very good here unlike her partner Bonneton who is really into the scheme and thus perfect to carry the comedy!
adventurer_ci I love french movies especially comedies. But this one I did not like. I am not sure why I actually finished watching it. Sucked from the finger story failed to deliver anything other but nonsense. Nothing in this movie is believable including characters. It is hard to believe that a wealthy uncle can possibly be that dumb. The "family" is shown as a bunch of real idiots. I never figured out the "childhood accident" story. Nothing is funny either. The acting is not bad, but nothing special. The only scenes in this movie I enjoyed was the view from the uncle's house. I think IMDb should cut a slack for a first reviewer who can't come up with 10 lines.
