I am a little bit confused with this website’s overall low rating of this French comedy. I randomly played the movie, hoping it could make me laugh. And not only did it made me laugh, it was outright entertaining. A young boy who’s heartbroken over his first love starts crying in the very first few minutes and the for the whole time he either cries or gets depressed. And since the whole story is centered around a mental case, you’re in for a treat. The family decides to literally beat the love out of him, and they come up with such tricks that it makes you want to kill them – if you were in his shoes, that is. I thought it was great. As soon as I finished, I had to see it again. These kinds of surprises are the best; you don’t really expect anything and then you end up having loads of fun. (18.05.2018)

A decent French comedy that doesn't have a very original premise, but still entertains with its crazy humour, and a few scenes are downright hilarious. The kitchen scene, on the other hand, is properly disgusting. Fine entertainment that is pretty underrated. 60% would be better. 3.5 stars. Story***, Action>No, Humor****, Violence>No, Entertainment****, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere**, Suspense**. (09.11.2020)
