What it's about

DNA tests before Alice and François's wedding reveal their fathers - an aristocrat and car dealer - aren't as French as they thought.

Why 9

Our readingA family comedy: wine on every table and jokes about origins that need an adult to say who is being laughed at. At 9 alone, at 8 with an adult.
reading
Wine on every table, all the timeAlcohol is named thirteen times and seen in almost every meal scene: French bourgeois comedy, with its drunken evenings and cigarettes on the terrace. One drug joke in passing.
shown
Comedy swearingAbout twenty French swear words in an hour and a half, said by adults losing their temper, never by the children.
shown
Mocking origins is the subjectThe film laughs at prejudice about Turks, Algerians and Portuguese, and does so by putting the jokes in the mouths of the characters it ridicules. A seven-year-old hears the jokes without the irony.
said
A grandfather losing his footingOne man in the family is described as 'adrift', no longer knows, and is offered a support group: a moment of real distress in the comedy, short.
said
Some shouting, a slap, a hunting gunshotFamily arguments that escalate, a slap, five seconds of gunfire at a hunt; a death is mentioned in the family tree. Nothing violent on screen.
shown

What the movie brings

Where we come from, for laughs: a DNA test and everyone discovers they are a little bit the other, a comedy that defuses prejudice by exaggerating it.
Two families with nothing in common: the aristocrat and the working man, the bourgeoise and the Turkish father-in-law, and a wedding that forces them to the same table.
Christian Clavier and Didier Bourdon in their element: bad faith as a sport.

Watching it together

Before

The jokes about origins need an adult there to say what we are laughing at: ridiculous characters, not Turks or Algerians. Without that, a child remembers the lines.

After

at 9 and up

Why are the adults in the film so afraid to find out where their grandparents came from?
