Tanguy (2001)
8/10
Funny truths

Warning: Spoilers
It's not the best comedy out there (or second-best), but it makes fun of a serious theme, has a lot of good (some very good) jokes, nice actors and good timing - time flies by with Tanguy, no scene is longer than necessary. What I liked most is that it's trying to play against expectations. Yes, he's living with his parents, but he's no loner or nerd; in fact he's hanging around with a new chérie every week (and brings them home, of course). He's an intelligent and confident man, but he loves his parents and enjoys living at hotel Mama. (This made the scene where he's suing his parents a bit unbelievable).

The end seems forced but seemingly, faced with a stubborn nemesis like Tanguy, even the scriptwriters had to revert to miracles!
