Not only is the film not remotely funny, it is also hideously offensive to anyone with
an IQ greater than 5. Who in their right minds would cast Thierry Lhermitte and
Alain Souchon as a gay couple? At least the two actors are sufficiently canny not
to descend to the obvious stereotypes, but even so they are totally unconvincing and
do little to endear themselves to the audience. Add to that a totally diabolical
piece of scriptwriting, whose flaws the complacent direction can only emphasise, and what
you get is a pretty ghastly cinematic experience. What an empty, time-wasting piece
of nonsense. There ought to be a law against this kind of thing.

Film Synopsis
Thomas and Stéphane are a gay couple who, having spent five years together, feel
the time is right to have a child. When their plan to adopt a baby in Martinique

The very best French thrillers
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
In the 1910s, French cinema led the way with a new industry which actively encouraged innovation. From the serials of Louis Feuillade to the first auteur pieces of Abel Gance, this decade is rich in cinematic marvels.
