User Reviews

Some kind of French Ken Loach like feature

I was not surprised by this movie directed by the GROLAND show makers, screen writers and directors. I received what I expected for. a social movie, of course, depicting the poverty in France with plenty of humor, so that many audiences could recognize themselves in without gloomy atmosphere. Jean Dujardin is outstanding here, as usual. This actor can play everything, anything. A film that makes you think after the watching, even if you are not an intellectual. Ken Loach would have liked it.
