After a promising start.....
....it soon gets bogged down in the most unbearable clichés of the worst comedies "à la française": a "modern" long-haired liberal priest with a crude language ,the de rigueur gays -of course as the straight people see them-,the mayoress -poor Bulle Ogier!- and an interminable medieval fair which is nothing but filler .
And yet the beginning was rather funny:the last hours in Paris and the arrival at the country gite are colorful scenes ,and for a short while,I was beginning to think that "Bienvenue au gite" might renew the "return to nature" subject ,which was trendy in the post-68 era.But everything that follows is a waste of time.
