Review
This lowbrow family comedy would have greater appeal were it not for its frequent bouts
of inane silliness. Michel Leeb may not have the charisma of Jean-Paul Belmondo
but he appears to be well-suited for this kind of strip-cartoon-style farce (if you overlook
the embarrassing doggy impressions). Most of the jokes backfire but there are a
few moments of inspired comedy, although it has to be said that some of the humour is,
by today’s standards, horribly politically incorrect (if not downright racist).
