    Embarrassingly unfunny at all by making the core character (alias Veronique, the daughter) such annoying.

    This was amazingly hillarious! Depardieu was great.

    A comedy that I loved when it came in theatres, and that I always appreciated to see again.

    Better than its americain remake, cause Marie Gillain is really more cute than Katherine Heigl, and I think she acts better also.
    The rest of the french cast confirm it, cause they were pretty good, as I remember.

    Does anyone know where I could get this on DVD with english subtitles?? I love this movie, saw it years ago on video tape, never seems to get replayed on tv ever. Would love to get a copy, it is miles better than the American remake.
