    a waste of talent, could have been way much better
    I saw some sketches of Gad El Maleh, including one of Chouchou, and he is really funny, one of the most talented comedians i've ever seen. This movie doesnt make much use of his talent and it has very stupid scenes, like the ones with virgin Maria, the flying sushi and the ridiculous substory about the mad policeman.

    During the screening, "La cage aux folles" came into my mind and i think that it was ten times better. It had a good story and didnt overuse of a particular character in "funny" situations, no matter how stupid the way is that leads to these situations.
