This harmless comedy has been the victim of
censorship, could anyone believe it? The politburo of the intellectuals has spoken and it was not amused. Those dumb asses declared that this film "celebrates" racial stereotypes -- nothing could be more far away from the truth. Can't those people see? What have they seen?
This film makes fun of stereotypes. There is no good race or bad race in this movie. Everybody gets their share, nobody is left out. I am flabbergasted - how can anybody think that anybody would identify with any of the various prejudices that are thrown into the debate and dismantled right away? The target of this movie is to make you laugh (or at least smile) at all those preconceptions.
Actually this is a charming movie and it deals with the person beyond the skin and beyond one's origin. This is achieved in elegant French style (with a pinch of Ozon). The only weak point is the lack of surprising turns and twists in the plot.
The USA had the series outsourced (2010/11). This series had a similar conception: make fun of any preconceived idea and show that basically all humans are alike. The arbiters of good taste managed to take it off the screen after one season. Protests from viewers didn't help: NBC gave in to PC dictatorship.
Ideologists with their heads full of cement unfortunately have the power to dictate their tastes on the community. Good Bye to Free Speech, Good Bye to Freedom of Art.
If I would judge it as film only, I might give it a 6/10, but as this is a case of censorship, I have to give it a full 10/10.
