I watched this film for a French culture project, since I was interested in the director/writer – Francis Veber from watching Le Diner de Cons/The Dinner Game. I’m not really the type to actually laugh out loud while watching movies, yet this one kept me laughing in various parts throughout the film. I didn’t realize that Francis Veber likes to use Francois Pignon as a character – and in both so far he has been the “idiot.” I also liked when Francois’ dad talked about his corkscrew collection and how he was invited to a dinner to talk about them – allusion? :)
