Be aware you might infer some part of the plot by my review although I do not mention specifics lines. I cannot believe the bad reviews this movie is getting either from French and English speakers. This is an "a" rate movie, meant to be view by the whole family, it has near zero sex scenes and although is spoken in French is rather an Anglo-Saxon Movie, if it wasn't in French you would think is made for Disney Chanel or ABC. I would comment that is about rich man meets poor woman with children, so clear was the director that he was making "American romantic comedy" that the soundtrack is totally in English. The movie makes me think in a funny mix between big bang theory and all those movies such as maid in Manhattan and similar, all with a touch of modern family sense of humor. Later on the French culture take over changing subtly the American approach to romantic comedy. You will find the performance of Benoît Poelvoorde superb, making his character credible in a way seldom cooper in Big Bang theory is not, in addition the rest of the family who are rented are very natural and funny. Credibility is the clue in here, we have seen this story many times but the plot is very realistic. The rest is difficult to say without giving you and spoiler, I expect you to agree that the character although very "special" act like adults able to cope with the weird situation they put themselves in. Situations and even gags are resolved in an adult an realistic way and the final part is a very french diversion on the way to the so call happy end; take note of the relevancy of Pauline Seryes (Lucie Mandini) at the end. Do not expect a master piece but I believe it will make you smile and sometimes laugh all the way through. I can say that the French made a good American Family Movie. Enjoy it.

I imagine some rich people do get bored with their lives. Especially when they are also single/without a significan other. In this case we get the unlikely (or is it?) pairing of a rich guy and a woman struggling to survive. So much so, that she is forced to steal. Which is the inciting incident - well that and the fallout, including an interview.

It is not hard to guess where the movie is going, so predictable is one of the things you can call it without any hesitation. Still this is good light fun one can have. With certain recurring jokes (refrigarator to name one) popping up throughout. The lead actors do their best and you can feel their struggle and pain (fish out of water and all that).

Two very impressive actors in a rather dull comedy.

A rich man rents a family to learn how having a family "feels". He - unsurprisingly - finds out that family life can be rather loud and chaotic. Thus, he has to find a way to deal with it - by leaving or not.

Conventionally this is the point where you, as the reader, are invited to "see for yourself". And since I'm not including a spoiler, I'm not doing otherwise. It's just ... that a person keen on watching movies, used to different plot developments and able to foresee certain happenings ... this film won't be one of the challenging and surprising ones.

It is light entertainment. Perfect for when you are exhausted but too awake to sleep. Or when your thoughts are occupied and you need an insignificant distraction. Then this movie is perfect. It entertains in a lighthearted way.

And might sadly be forgotten as quickly as you watched it. Still, it's not a movie which leaves you with the feeling of having your time wasted!

One more thing I hope you enjoy as much as I did: The soundtrack is pure pleasure! Thus, enjoy!
