    While the intro to our main character might not be as powerful as in the animated "Up", you still get a feeling for a character that will be very difficult to identify with at first. It's a grandmother who is really naughty and seems to hate everyone and everything. But the actress is so good with a script that is really more than fine, that you do care in the end.

    You might already know where this is going (sort of), but it's really fun to watch how we get there. The french keep it real (as much as possible), with added story lines, that do not feel that they disrupt or corrupt the main story. It actually adds to it, in small but very funny pieces. I can only recommend this if you like naughty comedies

    Why did my mom made me watch this movie?

    This movie isn't for me so i didn't like it that much. Even tho the idea of a grandma selling drugs is funny (even tho the story ended up being not that funny or enjoyable) , the actors are great and the oscar for best actress is undersandable. Everything else about this movie was just meh, the jokes were not funny and some of the writing felt too much lazy. Also there were charcters that were just stright up pointless i actually remember like half the charcters you csn get rid of those charcters and it won't cahnge a thing. The villain was boring and was just dumb (not the funny kinda dumb). The ending was just SO LAZY OH MY GOD and doesn't even make any sense it was just lazy writing. Maybe im being too hard on this movie cause its a comdey and it just wasn't for me BUT WHY DID MY MOM TOLD ME TO WATCH A MOVIE ABOUT A GRANDMA SELLING DRUGS? Anyways this movie isn't for me but if you like thats ok.

    Feel Good Movie

    We enjoyed this heartwarming and humorous flick. There are some laugh out moments and some touching scenes too.

    The music is beautiful. It's a well made film.

    The main actress is really fantastic and I want to see more of her movies. She is a natural. Her character of Paulette is mean and racist, but through the movie we see her transform and we are rooting for her.

    Aymen Saiyid is wonderful in his role as Rachid. We recognized him from the series Spiral.

    All the supporting cast were great. The little grandson Leo was adorable.

    Some of the plot points were predictable.

    The end was perfect!

    Its a movie stuffed with small surprises.

    I wasn't expecting much from the movie. Just wanted to burn time and the title had been sitting there for a awhile... And it has a such a low score in IMDb. So...

    I think I like it much more than 6.6.

    It soon got my attention and as the movie unraveled I was quickly mind focused on the movie. It has its edge with humor and funny outcomes of particular situations.

    While the film itself its predictable, how it gets there was very hilarious. The whole scenery and cast is very appropriate to the story. Not to mention how it ends.

    Spectacular!

    I very much enjoyed the film and would encourage friends to see it.
