Criticism
" Amusing comedy that occupies attractive, but is without too much depth from the clash of different attitudes to life .. "
" France Komödienaltstar Pierre Richard ( " The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe " ) is greyed out honors and playing in the Gallo- Canadian comedy again the naive optimists whose mood can tarnish no malicious continuous sabotage. Satire and punchlines hold in the harmless fun back who gets a little to the " Sticks " and the jovial veteran Sylvie Testud ( " Beyond Silence ") as the feisty daughter aside and Rémy Girard ( " The Barbarian Invasions " ) faces.
