  • Slightly disappointing

    Although I am a big fan of Benoit Poelvoorde (also like the other actors), I have to say I was a bit disappointed by his performance as well as the movie. Overall, it is relatively pleasant to watch but the only 3 or 4 funny moments are already showed in the trailer so do not expect any surprise on the comedy side. For the rest, i.e. the vast majority, it is actually a pretty boring family drama around the theme of marriage and parenthood which falls unfortunately into several cliches...I was hoping for more and I wanted to like it but it is at the very best a rental.
