A Funny French Film, At Last!

It is a light funny film, with great actors: Fabrice LUCHINI is GREAT, as usual, but Marie GILLAIN has finally found a mature role, a few years after her excellent interpretation of an annoying teenager in "Mon père ce héros". After watching Barnie you feel like smiling and laughing, it makes your heart light and your cheeks go pink! Laughter is in the air!
