Critic Reviews

Politics aside, however, the movie delivers on the inspiration of its premise, featuring just the sort of laughs one hopes for.

It's all pure hokum, perfect for a Shirley MacLaine remake, but it's lovely to see Lafont carrying a film so effortlessly.

With director Jerome Enrico mining the material for only the most obvious gags, the social commentary of the central joke never rises to the level of hard-hitting satire, instead settling on a broadly observed collection of types.

Far too broad and simplistic to enjoy as the offbeat soufflé it so desperately aims to be.
