Enjoyable French Humor

I am glad to see, that the rating of the movie stands at an exact 7.0/10, well at the time of writing this review anyway. It is exactly how I feel about the movie. Based on the trailers, I've exepcted an absurd comedy and it is what I got, in the first half anyway. The second half of the movie, while still having it's funny moments, deals more with a parental drama of the strugling single dad who was pushed into the robery.

It might be the case, that with some time to reflect on the movie I might increase the rating, because the later part did give the movie heart. The bottom line is, I did not feel like the movie was excellent when I finished watching it, only OK/pretty good. Having that said I can fully recomend viewing it, while it is indeed a good time.
