Dios mío, ¿pero qué nos has hecho?

I've finally finished the whole trilogy, and it didn't fail to make me laugh out loud from the start to finish! Every movie has a different theme, and even though I found getting to know the Verneuil family the funniest at the begging (Qu'est-ce qu'on a tous fait au Bon Dieu 1), the following sequels did not disappoint. We met their extended families-in-law, the children, their cultures and parents. Even through the highs and lows, in the end, you can't help but feel endearment towards Mr and Mrs Verneuil and their life they've built over the 40 years, still living with love and affection.

On a side note, I wish there was no replacement of the original actress playing one of the daughters.

"Monsieur Claude and his big party" is the third part of Monsieur Claude and his family. Philippe de Chauveron once again directs and Guy Laurent provides the screenplay. The culture clash comedy provides an insight into the everyday lives of families, the small conflicts that arise from family and neighborly closeness and the challenges that a big family celebration brings with it.

France's star comedian Christian Clavier embodies the bourgeoisie in his usual excellent role. Outwardly well-behaved and suave, but on the inside narrow-minded and full of prejudices. But still endearing at the same time. But the sons-in-law and their families are also delicious. Pascal N'Zonzi as André Koffi is particularly delightful in his role.

The script and staging tend to exaggerate the characters and provide plenty of situation comedy in the many mini-dramas that take place during the course of the plot. The film plays with foibles, deep-seated prejudices and makes it clear that thinking in racial categories is not the privilege of white people.

This black comedy does not shy away from political incorrectness and is presented with a light-footedness that makes it a pleasure to watch and laugh at. A sympathetic appeal for international understanding. You can feel the love for the family and it is love that always helps to fulfill family obligations and make compromises.

At the end, the movie leaves you with a warm, comforting feeling.

------------- Conclusion: Outstanding - The chaos is perfect again and the happy ending is also guaranteed.

A déjà vu effect cannot be denied. You get what you expect. We love it.

"Qu'est-ce qu'on a tous fait au Bon Dieu?" (2021) continues the lighthearted charm of its predecessors, delivering a classic comedic experience with a modern multicultural twist. The film skillfully blends humor with its exploration of cultural diversity, showcasing the quirks and dynamics of a large, mixed family. Its setup, rooted in misunderstandings and cultural clashes, provides plenty of entertaining moments. While it doesn't stray far from the familiar formula of Italian-style comedy, the relatable characters and clever dialogue keep it engaging. Some jokes hit harder than others, but the film's heartwarming message about family unity and acceptance shines through. A delightful watch for fans of the series.

What a pleasure to find the Verneuil family for a third part just as successful as the previous ones, the plot of this new part is so exciting with these situations to die of laughter, it is too funny from beginning to end (a pleasure of cinema total)

It's always disappointing when a movie has potential but fails to deliver. In this case, while the plot of the movie may have seemed interesting and even humorous on paper, the execution left much to be desired. The characters were dull, lacking any real depth or complexity that could have made them more relatable and interesting to watch. Instead, they came off as stereotypical and unoriginal, lacking any real depth or nuance.

The acting in the film was also a letdown, with performances that felt forced and over-the-top. It seemed like the actors were trying too hard to make their characters work, resulting in exaggerated and unconvincing portrayals. The jokes in the film were also a major disappointment, relying heavily on tired cliches and offensive stereotypes that failed to land with the audience. Some of the attempts at humor even crossed the line into being outright offensive and hurtful, leaving viewers feeling uncomfortable and dismayed.

Overall, the movie was a complete waste of time for anyone who was hoping for a fun and entertaining cinematic experience. It's a shame, because with some tweaks and adjustments, there could have been a great film hiding in there somewhere. But unfortunately, the filmmakers missed the mark on nearly every level, resulting in a movie that falls far short of its potential. It's a reminder that even with the best intentions and promising material, a lack of talent and skill can easily derail a project and leave audiences feeling cheated and disappointed.
