This movie was lots of fun to watch, especially in my French class! The entire class was laughing during the course of the film. It is sort of like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" with a twist. You hate Pignon, but at the same time you love him. It might not be 'slap-stick' enough for kids, but adults are sure to enjoy it for its subtleties and the thought of "Oh jeez, that could be me." There are moments where you feel sorry for the characters too. This is pulled off extremely well for a movie that seems so... silly!
Though I do wonder about what it would be rated in English. The swearing and a sexual reference or two make me waver between PG-13 and R. If you want to learn French swear words, this movie is basically the guide.
