La ch'tite famille

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.

I felt completely uplifted from watching this heartwarming comedy. I loved everything about it! The acting was outstanding and the characters were quirky and lovable. It's been a couple weeks since I watched the movie and I still keep remembering scenes and giggling!

I thought it was gonna actually follow the lives of all the people in the original movie but they have changed many actors and erased some of the events of the past movie as if they never happened... and they don't explain why, it's as if this is in a parallel universe or timeline. And it would've been ok but it just doesn't have a logic though, does it?

I guess it has some positive aspects, but they are few. And the tone is so different from the last movie who was light hearted and downright funny movie, you know, a movie that makes you laugh with your whole soul? But this one didn't even provoke a single laugh, I think it should've been marketed as a drama cause as a drama it kind of works but at the same time it doesn't... and especially for fans of the first movie this seems just so tonally distant from the first one... the whole experience feels utterly jarring.

I gave it a three cause it lacked the charm and all the points I mentioned above, very weird sequel that is more sad than funny and some of the characters just disappear from the narrative. Even the main character from the last movie portrayed by Kad Merad makes a cameo but then again it's as if he never went up the north, he just plays himself as an actor (if I remember it right). Anyways don't watch it, it's just a waste of time, I wish I hadn't... and if you haven't seen the first one then you should totally do it, and skip this one.

Dany Boon is not one of my all time favourites like Louis de Funes. But, no matter the imdb rankings of his movies he always provides a safe choice of humble but good enough entertainment. This movie is no an exception to this.

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