General impression:
This was so funny! I’ll definitely keep it on my list of movies to cheer me up in case of occasional blues. It was very enjoyable, and I laughed out loud at some gags. I love it when a movie leaves joy in my heart and a lasting smile on my face. If you like stories about friendship, people and accepting them as they are, you may like this down-to-earth comedy.

Highlights:
It seems and feels inspired by real life. The humour (even the exaggerations) is natural, fluid and positive.

Downside:
You have to know a little French to enjoy it fully.

Would I see it again? – Yes

My Rating (1 to 10): 8

Recommended: Yes

Suggestion:
Take a virtual tour of Bergues, in the “frightening” North of France, home to the “ch’tis” 🙂
