With almost no lasting buzz and a box office loss, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who love relationship stories and anyone who wants a laugh. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 19 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
The Arbac de Neuvilles are one of the oldest families in France. They have inhabited their ancient château for fifty-two generations and are proud of their noble ancestry. But today they are stone broke. When a bailiff turns up notifying them that they owe two million euros in back taxes, these proud aristocrats are understandably shaken to the core of their ancestral seat. Just how are they to find this amount of money when none of them has any capacity for work?
