Plötzlich Papa

I didn't like end. I expected to be comedy but this movie is great. Story is not so new but during watching there is a lots of surprise and it is worth of watching.

I though I knew Omar Sy from his other work: "Intouchables", "Nos jours heureux", "Chocolat". But this is something else! Excellent performance! He's so into his character that it feels he isn't even acting, just being. The plot twist towards the end is a real surprise. You go on guessing the story line, but it goes to and fro a few times. Along the way, you're really rooting for more than one person! It's a tale of "deserving" versus " rights", feelings versus facts. Clémence Poésy did her part very well too and so did Antoine Bertrand, madly in love with his work, thinking very fast. The tempo and timing looked good, I did not feel its length of nearly 2 hours. All in all, a good movie, certainly worth watching, for men and women alike.

This is the typical well made comedy–drama, where the wise combination of funny and moving elements results in a good product, also thanks to the good acting performances. Omar Sy really feels his character and is certainly the pillar of strength of a sometimes weak screenplay, but still capable of arousing deep emotion. The (usual) bad Italian translation of the original title (Demain tout commence), with the addition of a useless subtitle, does not render the intention of a picture that wants to touch some delicate chords of human sensitivity, in a very simple and natural way, and manages to do that quite effectively.

The first movie with Omar Sy that I saw was Intouchables, I absolutely loved him; he takes on a role and makes it work. With this movie again it just works! It is a sweet but sad movie at the same time, and I love the way it has a playful setting. I just loved it!

The movie has a slow start. But after about 20 minutes a true story comes alive. It is teaching us a few life lessons. Enjoy the movie
