La Ch'tite famille

{I watched it after having an emotionally difficult week, and it was a great cure for the evening!! Thank you so much Dany Boon!!} This movie (not to be mistaken as a sequel for "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis") brings beautiful moments of relationships, and we go through those moments with laughter! ... and some, even bring a delicate tear in the corner of the eye. There are many funny moments and the acting is well done: when it is a comedic scene or a more serious one, the tone is well respected! And if you haven't got enough laughter throughout the movie, stay for the end credits; for sure some of them will bring you a big smile! It makes you wonder why the rating as of May 2020 is 5.7 ??!!

A nice, funny movie, full of laughter, with a moralizing tone like in 80's American movies. It takes an accident for the designer to become aware of his fake and artificial life. Curiously they are all chits in real life also! So they speak it really well, even if it is a peasant-like, primitive dialect that scratches the ears. Pierre Richard was really good, Dany Boon as usual, nothing exceptional and the rest pretty poor, but fitting in this superficial comedy, about a rich man that has forgotten his roots. Maybe those roots are not so great, maybe he wanted to become someone else and despised his little provincial town, like a lot of us. Maybe he really felt ashamed of his family, like a lot of us feel too. The real problems are not deal with in mainstream movies. So in the end we get the educated girl speak the grotesque dialect of Nord and associate the Bolero with an Ajax commercial and not Carmen of Bizet. The ending with Richard memorable scene singing his love in "chti"(Je te quere!!- sic!) is quite nice, even if I personally hate those American-like public love declarations. The melody though would certainly be more successful, than the sorry bunch the French presented at Eurovision in the last 20 years.

Better than a documentary it's a declaration of love to a certain idea of France. It's a movie about success, love and shame. The photography isn't amazing but it's well edited and fun. However, all the fun lies in the regional language, so I don't know how it feels for someone who doesn't understand French.

No need for the snob world. Natural is the real thing. Don't forget where you came from. Brilliant acting game. We laughed a lot. Real European. Really French. Sweet, fun, light. But the topic is serious, the basic idea is excellent. I heartily recommend it to the young, the elderly. We got a nice evening. Thanks to the creators and the actors!

What a wonderful movie! The actors are genial, the idea is good and not trashy or dirty
