It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The jokes sometimes were fun, but in general very predictable. Also everything had to happen well aligned. The jew, the muslim, the chinese, the black guy one after each other with a predictable joke. Haha. Of course, this all had to end with a happy wedding in the church. No atheist, no lesbian daughter, no surprise you might expect in a french movie. Even kitschy snow at X-mas.Monsieur Claude was a big disappointment especially after seing a movie like Crustacés & coquillages (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428430/).

This flick makes fun of the racism the traditional Christians have against persons of other religions, races and both of them together. In short is a great comedy I laugh my ass off and highly recommended to everyone ,apart from fanatics who lack the brain to understand the joke! So the story follows the Catholic family Verneuil, whose couple have raise their four daughter with the principals of Catholicism and Degoalism ,but and here is the comedy they have married each a different person of race and religion. The reactions of the elder against their sons in law ,are the jewel of the movie because are showing the hypocrisy of these people who call themselves Christians and they treat those who are different to them in a xenophobic manner. The fun comes from the fact that the main principal of Christianity is "love the other as I loved you" and see those people ,who say they are devout Christians ,act in such a way ,shows to me at least that you can learn to someone the principals of love ,tolerance and so on ,but to make them apply to their every day life ... is an other problem altogether! So if anyone say that he would react in a more civilized way, then I dare him to put himself or herself in to the shoes of the elderly Verneuil!If only the critics weren't so hard to it ,which shows that Christians aren't yet so good in applying their doctrine's main principals very well. Whatever just try small steps at the time.

The background of this movie alone attracted us into the theatre, imagine the possibilities the director had of playing with such a multiethnic and multicultural family. Traditional French bourgeois Catholic Caucasian couple raising four daughters, three of whom married (in that order) a Moroccan Muslim, a Jew and a Chinese, with the fourth about to enter into matrimony with a Negro-African. And the movie did not disappoint. There was non-stop laughter throughout, the stream of irony and humour flowing from one scene to another, highlighting and poking fun at the impressions, the idée fixes, the stereotypes people harbour towards members of a different ethnicity or culture. And you realize that one can unwittingly become a racist without the slightest intention, and offend even when treading most cautiously. What I liked most about this movie is its positive air, the family values it fosters, the notion that we are all members of a nation regardless of ethnicity (re: La Marseillaise scene) and the efforts each and every member of the family puts in to attain harmony (re: Marie and her turkeys). Cliché as this might seem, it is heartwarming and makes this little gem a first choice in light entertainment for the evening in this festive season.

I have seen a few french movies and I did not like them, they are different.. But there are a few ones which deserve any minute spent on watching. This movie is one of the best, I cried and I laugh during entire film. It encourage people to love each other no matter what, it teach parents that we live in a different time, it teach all of us that we are all people and deserve to be honest and friends.I recommend watching it. I am in process of learning french and this is one movie which make you to want to learn french and love this country.Congruatulation to the regizors for making it so funny and real, as this is real not only in France but in entire world! Good pointed!
