Second masterpiece after the first ...
6 December 2022
The only question we can really have about this film is to decide whether it is a better masterpiece then Papa ou Maman or whether the first one was better... That is really the only question we have to debate

  • So I have been watching them one after the other and again and cannot separate them. The inappropriateness of behaviour of those two parents in both of those films is a masterpiece of the genre; a sort of Little Red Book of all the things parents should never do. In the first one the father took his 11-year-old daughter to a strip-joint to make her want to stay with her mother.


  • The mother gave her son a negative Mohican at the back of the head so he will pick his father as his guardian


  • In this second film the kids sort of turn the tables on their parents but not really in the end


  • The only problem I have with both of those films is the scattergun rhythm of the speech delivery it is almost impossible to catch more than 85% of what they say I could find good subtitles in French for the first film but could not for this one and so I missed bits and pieces here and there and that is a shame. This is extremely well-written apart from the scenes the language chosen is almost every time sublime the insults the belittling language they use for each other is rip-roaringly funny almost every single time if you liked the first one watch this one too


  • The first one was 2015 the second one 2016 too many years have gone by now so I suppose there will never be a third one but it would be nice; the kids by now would be grown-up which would mar the experience probably


  • I had to give this a 10 it is the least I could do.


PS: best line in this one "Ça t'excite ta mère en culotte rouge?" a question Laurent Lafitte asks his fifteen year-old son ... Classy!
