John Raymond Peterson This 2015 French comedy is almost a copy of the 1984 'Blame It on Rio'. Buddies go on a vacation with their teenage daughters and one of the precocious girls gets a crush on her dad's friend and goes a bit too far. That's pretty much the storyline of both movies in a nutshell. Of course the settings are different, la 'Provence' vs 'Rio' and the original version of the more recent of the two movies is in French. Also, as one might expect from a French movie, there is more nudity because the French are not so hung up on censorship. The dads are younger and more fit as well, of course.Now I happen to like the actors Vincent Cassel and François Cluzet so I don't want to sound as critical as I may have sounded in this intro description of the film. Both Cassel and Cluzet deliver as good performances as their counter parts Michael Caine and Joseph Bologna; Cluzet perhaps somewhat better than Bologna, but that's just my opinion. The daughters are played by lesser known Lola Le Lann and Alice Isaaz, though Isaac has already some acting awards in her profile while Le Lann hasn't but makes up for that with her main character juicy role as Louna, the lusty teenie. There's no doubt she will get more parts just as Michelle Johnson did after 'Blame It on Rio' because both women are gorgeous.Cassel plays the dad who couldn't resist the charms of his friend's daughter and has to clumsily cover the affair, just as Caine had to. The antics of that role do not lend themselves to high drama but it is at least entertaining.A major difference between both flics is the participation of the two dad's wives, make that one ex and one not, and also that the older movie featured the likes of Demi Moore and Valerie Harper is those roles, practically non existent in the French remake. Neither versions went so far as to be melodramatic, thankfully, so I simply describe the genre as comedy, but sure there's a bit of drama and romance but nothing impressive.If you haven't seen the 1984 movie, then you can simply watch this more current production; I doubt you'll care to see the two. One is enough. I watched the second because I'm a movie buff, I like Cassel and I expected the French film (not dubbed because I dislike those ) to have a more liberal tone, which it did, of course.

kosmasp If you read a couple of things about this, then you know what direction this is going to. And the whole setup might annoy some people, because it does take its time to introduce the characters, make us aware of who is who and their general relationship with each other. I think it's important to know those things, others may disagree, just know where you are standing with this.Of course not all decisions by the characters are really good and appropriate. Otherwise we wouldn't have a movie and an issue in itself. The female in question has Lolita qualities and you can see where one would at least have thoughts that might not be in ones own best interest. Things are not always black and white, and people do certain things out of the spark of the moment (or because they were drunk). The ending ... well I'll let you decide what to make of it ...

sally_edsall I saw this at the french Film Festival in Sydney, 2016. I always go to see anything Francois Cluzet is in, but am afraid this year he disappointed. He seemed to be sleep-walking through this. I found the situations he was depicted in fairly tedious and not funny at all, though it is billed as a comedy.Alice Isaaz is the stand-out in this. She offers a nuanced role and view about the situation, which let's face it, is as old as the hills (Lolita - type seductress and older man who 'can't resist'). Isaaz's character does remind her 45- year old father that HE is the adult. "Lolita's" doe-eyes and pouting were grating. Her's was a one-note performance. Cassell was workmanlike, but the character was beyond irritating. His inability to say "No" to a 17 year old temptress was incredibly annoying. The sight of the fading studs walking u the beach eyeing off pert young female flesh was annoying to say the least. I didn't find it funny on the whole, though there were a couple of moments. Was killing the neighbour's dog instead of a wild boar meant to be funny? It wasn't. I would not bother to seek this out at a cinema. Maybe a DVD on a rainy afternoon.

smithellie1966 I can't believe how bad this movie is and how bad François Cluzet, George Bush look alike in it. A very annoying, phony, stupidly written and directed movie. I didn't even make it half way through before it almost put me to sleep. No character depth, I didn't connect or relate to the characters at all. Empty dialogs that lack true emotion. All actors were really bad, but François Cluzet was the worst. Unbelievable for a famous actor like him. I though he was not bad in The Untouchables. I generally enjoy French cinema, but they were following Hollywood steps lately producing junk after junk like this one or "Tu veux... ou tu veux pas?" for example.
