True comedic genius

I have now seen enough film by Dany Boon to feel qualified to apply the tag comedic genius to this guy

Whether he was kindly mocking the Ch'timi (working-class locals) of Northern France or making fun of the pandemic rules of the lost year of 2020 it is always spot-on; hilarious and unexpected

Here he pairs up with another Moghrebi original Kad Merad possibly as funny as he is; and then they add Charlotte Gainsbourg as the female lead

What could possibly go wrong? Well nothing as it happens. It is funny all the way through; entertaining as hell and yes as always with Boon PHILOSOPHICAL when all the dust settles and all the jokes have been played out

It is also about letting go and letting God as folks in the New Age movement usta say in the 90s

This one here is Boon gold .... miss it if you do not like to laugh

No spoilers but him walking out of cafes without paying time and time again will slay any viewer; his character is the timeless innocent Schlemiel the holy fool here again ...

Highly enjoyable.
