      Burn ,banknotes,burn...

      In French a "beauf" is a pejorative word for " brother-in-law " ,though some of them are very nice people ; it is also used to refer to stereotypical Frenchmen who are perceived as being narrow-minded, jingoistic ,vulgar ,:in a nutshell ,a square .

      Here Gilbert's brother-in-law and his good friend Serge will lead the poor lad into very bad things.Gilbert accepts everything meekly, and will soon be overtaken by events.The screenplay is full of sudden new developments with really good gags: the little son and his pals paying mountains of sweets and cakes with a big banknote,Serge bathing in the banknotes like Scrooge McDuck (Oncle Picsou), the videotape which brings back good old memories ,when the buddies were part of a horrible long-haired rock band in the seventies ...

      The ending is too sweet and is not equal to the madness of a shrewd screenplay ,in which Gerard Jugnot shines,as the naive bald sucker and the rest of the cast follows suit;a bonus for the late Alain Baschung 's fans : with the staggering exception of Serge Gainsbourg ,he was one of the rare French artists to make his language sound "rock" .

      Not a great comic movie,but very entertaining!
