not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 10; from 9, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 10-11, when you laughed at the first one, and know what the occupation was. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 8.

What it's about

The third part of Seventh Company adventures.

Why 10

A shootout and angry soldiersA minute of gunfire, a car chase, Germans shouting and searching; a resistance fighter arrested by the Gestapo, a threat of a firing squad. All played for laughs, nobody dies on screen.

What the movie brings

A sequel that keeps the tone of the first: clumsy men doing better than heroes.
A first picture of life under occupation, black market and curfew included.
Scenes of pure comedy, like Chaudard's pantry, that make people laugh at any age.

Watching it together

Before

Explain what the Gestapo is before the arrest scene; the rest is farce.

After

at 10 and up

Chaudard and his friends help a resistance fighter without being heroes: what makes you help someone who is afraid?
