TANGUY is a highly amusing comedy based on a very modern problem: grown up kids who don't want to leave home. The titular character is 28, finishing off his PhD, and quite happily bringing his girlfriends home. Frustrated, his borgeouis parents decide that if he won't leave them to their comfortable existence then they'll have to force him to go -- covertly, of course. So they embark on various bonkers schemes to get rid of their child. Inevitably many of the schemes rebound and the poor parents begin to melt down in the face of their child's awful behaviour. The jokes are varied: some are brilliant, others a little flabby and some too cruel for my taste (like the affair). Nonetheless it's a unique comedy that many parents (and some kids) will identify with.
