Cinema time!

The last Wednesday afternoon we decided to go to the cinema. That day in Multikino people who are users of Orange telecommunications operator could buy one ticket for two so we took the opportunity very quickly.

There were many movies to choose due to this fact we had difficulty in making our final decision. That time the cinema offered a few cartoons, one science-fiction, one thriller and two commedy movies. As I detest science fiction and as we are not children, our options decreased. Initially, we intended to watch a movie of family Stuhr called 'Citizen' but having read the viewers' reviewes, we finally chose a french commedy 'Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?'.

I cannot remember when I have been laughting so much watching the movie. 
The action of the film takes place in Paris and in a small town when live the parents of brides. You may asked brides? It means that there were organised one big wedding for a few couples? 

Not exactly but if you think this way, you are near the right answer. 
The parents Verneuil have four daughters (oh, irony of fate). Three of them are just got married but not in a Catholic confession as the parents intended (especially mother, an ardent Catholic). First one married an Arabian, the second a Jew and the third a Chinese. You can consider what is wrong in mixed marriage? For the first sight nothing. The women have a satisfied job and in the same time fulfil themselves in bringing up children. 
However, one element disturbs the life of these married couples, that is the father Verneuil and more clearly his attitude to sons-in-law. For sure dad is a racist who likes making causting comments about Jewish religious traditions, always well-organised Chinese and no-pork eating Arabians. The opinions of conservative French always collide with those liberal ideas of young immigrants which always create funny situations and gags. 

The father does not lose his hope to have a French son-in-law because of his maiden daughter who intends to marry a Catholic but it turns out not to be so easy...


For me this movie jeers stereotypes related with people of various nations who live in France and also in another foreign country. Shows that not everything which is different must be worse or dangerous for us. I recommend this movie for those of You who would like to spend time watching a movie which presents our racial antipathy in a satirical way.
