Josiane Balasko and Didier Bourdon are the lead characters of this comedy directed by Alexandra Leclère based on a screenplay written by Alexandra Leclère.
This is a really funny comedy in which love is put to the test… for money.
A simple comedy, which is very funny and has that “French” touch that is so comical that we love.
Searching for a good time this week-end? Look no further than “Price of Parenting” for the perfectly funny formula.
Storyline
Some parents who never get any visits from their busy offspring decide, in order to win them over, to fake winning the lottery.
About the Movie
Funny, no more nor less, but with that very French touch that knows how to make a family comedy that is truly funny.
Intelligent lines in this social comedy that has four very inspired actors delighting in comedy which at some times is a little less elegant but equally funny.
The best part: The lines, the crackpot acting in a comedy that, in its simplicity is refreshing and attractive.
Warning: This is not a film seeking approval from reviewers through subtleties. This is very basic humor, with a staging that is almost a tv comedy and acting that is very television too, with excessive gesticulation, jokes that are evident and daily situations that are simple and obvious.
This is not a film with double entendres nor is there any evolution in the characters: simplicity is the game here and it is successful in entertaining and pleasing with no other intents.
This is a very, very funny movie for spending the afternoon and forgetting about problems, but remembering (ironically) that as offspring sometimes we are rather ungrateful.
Our Opinion
Relax and enjoy straightforward comedy that is simple and effective, the most theatrical with characters that are rather simple and crazy.
This is worthwhile, especially because of the scene with the Ferrari that the good father rents to impress his son.
This isn´t a great film nor will it go down in history, but it is funny enough and silly enough to charm us.
