Il a déjà tes yeux

Finally got around to watching the cute French film dealing with interracial adoption. It's a comedy with some parts that pull at the heart strings. Maternal grandmother steals all the scenes, I wish she was in the film even more. Some of the storyline was very over the top but it's lighthearted. Watch and enjoy

It's funny and has a good plot, it even has deep moments that give you reflection.

Il a déjà tes yeux is a nice and cute french comedy. About a couple who adopts a child who is white. Causing some feud in the family. This movie is funny and emotional, has a good message of acceptance in the face of doubt. The only problem it suffers from is the use of the same storyline: two parents from one race adopts a child from a different race, causing a lot of problems and doubts. This kind of storytelling has already been used multiple times in movies with this kind of plot. So it isn't renewable if the parents are from a different race. Because this kind of story has already been told. Anyway it's a good movie with nice moments.

A drama told in a light and fun way, it skidded at the end with the comic exaggeration and slapstick, it could have been taken a little more seriously, but the theme is pertinent and necessary, in France, due to the large number of immigrants, u no prejudice and xenophobia are great, and always reported in the movies, that's where my love for French cinema was born, always formidable, reflective and critical...

I really enjoyed this film. Starring the glorious Aissa Maiga as one half of the lead couple who adopt a baby and keep his ethnicity a secret from their family. On the one side, you've got a social worker whose prejudice drives her surprise visits, seeking faults in the home or familial environment, and on the other, you've got the baby's adopted grandmother, doing what West African mothers do best - exaggerate everything! Luckily, she does this to comic effect, and I couldn't stop laughing throughout the film.

From the social worker's perspective, it's alright for white couples to adopt black children, as this is an already accepted practice, but it is not in the best interest of a white child to be adopted (or to be the first) by a black couple.

Without giving anything more away, I'll simply say that this is a great film to watch with friends and family, alike.
