Cocorico

The concept of the movie seemed interesting. Rich people from well-known families discovering that their roots may be more humble than they think, or the opposite, seemed an interesting concept to explore. However, the movie just isn't funny at all. I am not offended by the stereotypical jokes, but they need to be funny and original.

The narrative is boring and the pacing is very slow, especially the first act. The movie spends a lot of time introducing the parents and it becomes boring. It would be funnier if they spent more time analyzing their ancestors history, how the characters' lives are affected by this new information. Instead, they prefer running old, unoriginal jokes -- Germans are Nazis, Portuguese are maids and plumbers, and so on. Those jokes could have been funny, but the script is just bad.

Finally, the direction and cinematography of the movie are plain boring. The movie doesn't have descriptive scenes to break the cadence of the narrative, so the movie feels like a continuous sequence of dialogs, with no time for the viewers to reflect on what they are watching. The actors are also below par, although I like Christian Clavier, but I admit the script doesn't help them.

The film is hilarious! It is really finely done. You do need a french sense of humor as there are some inside jokes, but it is greatly done. Especially the way of how simply they slip in jokes like that!

Sometimes there may not be a very good flow in the film but the storyline is really interesting - it is so fun to see how every bit of information reunites at a later point in the movie and it all makes sense.

So I definitely recommend this movie for its humor. I did need to watch it at least two times to really catch jokes, but this is this kind of movie that with every time you watch it once more you find new jokes and funny moments.

A light-hearted commedy that plays a lot with stereotypes.

The movie takes a lot of time to come to the point. Especially the introduction drags on for quite some time. The audience probably knows a couple of minutes in advance what's going to happen. The three couples and their relationships towards each other are interesting, but especially the young couple has no real connection and no chemistry. They are just there and are not given much space to act.

I had a few real laughs, especially when it came to the French/German/English jokes, but then again it was all too stereotyped-up. I'd wished for some more originality.

Maybe a fitting movie for a boring Sunday evening, not so much as a cinematic experience. It's just too shallow for that.

This comedy might (well I'm pretty sure) not please the 'woke' generation, you know the ones that get offended by almost everything, but if you have a good sense of humor and are not easily offended by racial stereotypes and clichés you will probably enjoy this French comedy. I like almost every movie with Christian Clavier (from l'équipe du Splendid, a well known bunch of French comedians) so watching Cocorico it was almost a certainty I would like it. Didier Bourdon (better known from Les Inconnus) plays the rival of Christian Clavier and what started as a hopefully new friendship quickly turns into a verbal war between them. Sylvie Testud plays the wife of Didier Bourdon and acts like the queen of England. It's all very funny to follow, you just have to give it some time as the beginning starts slow, but once they get going there is no stopping them. I had a good time watching this French comedy, probably because I'm not woke enough in this ridiculous society that takes everything too seriously. Just relax and enjoy the show.

Cocorico is a French comedy that offers a delightful blend of humor, heart, and unexpected twists. The film revolves around two families, the aristocratic Bouvier-Sauvages and the more modest Martin family, who are brought together by the impending marriage of their children.

What sets Cocorico apart is its clever premise: the bride and groom decide to give to their parents DNA tests as a gift!

The performances are strong, with the actors delivering their lines with conviction and comedic timing. The chemistry between Christian Clavier and Didier Bourdon, who play the heads of the two families, is particularly enjoyable.

While Cocorico is primarily a comedy, it also explores deeper themes of family, identity, and acceptance.

Cocorico is a refreshing and entertaining film that is sure to leave a smile on your face. If you're looking for a lighthearted comedy with a heartwarming message, this is definitely worth checking out.
