    The picture, written and directed by Francis Veber, the screenwriter of "La Cage Aux Folles,'' is a complete success.

    Easily the funniest and most charming film that has been or will be released in 1999 -- period.

    This stage-bound farce could easily be an American sitcom: It's all slamming doors, eavesdropping and stupid miscommunications, garnished with a heavy-handed helping of comedy of humiliation.

    My, it was fun!! Explosive jokes, good actors and epic plot and screenplay, it sure deserves a better rating than this. I also think that some of these American reviews missed most of the jokes, it's definitively better if you're French because of the different culture.… Expand

    Belly laughs, can't ask for more in a comedy.

    This is a terrific, funny French film that basically mocks idiots. At times annoying how stupid the characters are but it is sure to become a classic. It sort of reminds me of "It's a Mad Mad World" for some reason. 8 out of 10!… Expand
