Un jour mon père viendra

Yes it is LES COMPERES back again but no they have managed to get more action out of the concept than the re-made Veber film.

Magnate Berléand can't forget the mother and child he abandoned, fingering the crayon letter he was sent twenty plus years back, and sets out to make amends, asking about the girl at the village boozer, to be told her dad is in the back room. Enter Jugnot - who has the Midas touch right now.

Everyone is pretending to be something they are not - or maybe they are. The old hands are right on top of their act and the young TV personalities do beautiful people endearingly. Production values are superior. Much conspicuous consumption

I really enjoyed that.

English sub-titles on the French DVD are not much good.
