Hilarious movie, with great acting and fantastic jokes all the way. Quite unique in it was shot in Algeria and released globally. A pure gem that will have you travel away from wherever you are (unless you're watching from Algeria...)

One of the funniest movie I have ever seen

Being in between these 2 cultures myself, I found the characters representations very realistic (even if of course a bit exaggerated) for both the french suburbs sub cultures but also the north African culture.

The situation comedy is excellent with a lot of great guest stars (Eric Judor, Ramzy Bedia, Ellie Zemoun and even Omar Sy), good music and a good rythm, the culture clash is very well depicted while never being judgemental , it creates very grotesque situations that always make me laugh.

Shout out to Julien Courbey who gives everything to his character and make this wanna be Algerian credible & very endearing.

One of the most French underrated movie!
