Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis

Actor, writer and director Dany Boon delivers a hilarious comedy that goes beyond the laughs. The film deals with stereotypes and misconceptions, in this case a region of France. While the films true humor and comedy lies in the language, the story is universal enough that non-French speaking audiences will appreciate, specially through the superb performances by Boon and Kad Merad. The French always managed to bring accurate and believable characters that Hollywood most of the time fails due to the use of a predictable formula. Kad Merad plays a postal officer who in order to please his nagging wife, forges forgery to be transferred to a more desirable location in the south of France. However the plan fails and he's sent to the far north of France where everybody seems to have an opinion about without ever been there. Boon's funny script, comedic timing and swift directing proves to be a winning formula. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
