silly but fun
ksf-28 December 2021
Dad bartek hires people to raid his family estate to force the kids to go find jobs. This sounds like an old black and white u.s. Film from 1930, with robert taylor or william powell, but until i remember it, it IS a remake of Madcaps from 1949. So the kids go get jobs. And they finally all start talking, as a family. For the first time. Dad realizes the communication issues and work ethics problems are not all on the offspring. Lessons to be learned all around. And the kids have some surprises in store for papa as well. Predictable, silly but fun. Directed by nicolas cuche.

A feel good sharp cookie cutter
indraniaray2 December 2021
A fun clean film is such a rarity. Is it cookie-cutter? A 100%. But it is a cute chuckle fest cookie-cutter done so well. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The beats are perfect and it coasts along really well with tons of life lessons tucked in without the narrative sagging anywhere.

Entertaining and light
mmartic-219372 December 2021
It's over-the-top but light movie about spoiled kids of a self-made man and how he is trying to change things for the better.

It might be interesting to those who have problems with their own spoiled adult kids.

Him having a heart attack is relatable to many with their own problematic brats.

Lovely movie
bozopauk1 December 2021
This movie is what you would expect to see, in a positive way. It is something new, not the most usual storyline you can find.

Downs to this movie are some weird parts of plot. They are really unrealistic. Also personally, the length of certain events in the movies are badly divided. I would have like some parts and events to be more details and with more stories to reflect the current state.

It seems to me as big part of the story, maybe the key part lasted quite short.

It has its ups and downs of course, but in the end it is a good movie to check, it will probably be worth the time.

Interesting plot, some funny moments
v-5628914 December 2021
The plot is interesting. It was fun to watch when the kids had to start working, there could have been much to that though. Some funny moments, but there are better comedy movies.

The original, the Mexican film is better but this is good too
ohSheti27 November 2021
France has good cinema I like a lot of movies of France but the original movie because it's a remake of nosotros los nobles the Mexican movie has a special humor that's why maybe in the movie only French can understand and not all people in the world can understand anyway see both I recommend them.

Beautiful
rudolphi30 November 2021
This is easily a very cute, feel good movie with a decent plot and good actors. Certainly worth the time. It might not be the most original thing bit would definitely be relatable anyone at some point in life. I certainly love it. Need more like this.

Nothing Much to Talk About
albertval-6956017 January 2022
This is a decent comedy but nothing extraordinary about it. Sure, it sends home a message but this is not delivered with conviction. It's like it comes and it goes. It doesn't really stick in the viewer's mind.

It's worth taking your time to watch
lckm-979-28531726 November 2021
Look, people, I am also a father ... The most relevant thing about the movie is that it doesn't do anything fancy. It just shows how a father can use his imagination to try to make their own "children" do better. It does have some really genuine funny scenes where you are sorry for the "CHILDREN" (rsrsrsr), but you can't help but laugh at what's happening to them. Some scenes could benefit of some speed, but it is already expected, because after all, it is a French movie. Summin up, the good stuff outclasses any flaws.

I enjoyed it!
Australian126 July 2022
If one makes comparisons to a different version or from another country, it isn't fair.

Like the remake of "Overboard" it was good on it's own merit, story changed a bit. But everybody compared it to the original Goldie Hawn movie and that was not fair.

Bad remake of a Mexican film
nirvana-582781 December 2021
Once una blue moon we had a great original Mexican film, and this movie made no honor.

Seriously I watched the whole hoping for a twist in the story something new to offer, but no, actually is not as fun, they missed a lot of scenes, feels like they couldn't make an effort to adapt well the story to France.

Watch the original!!!

Annoying characters.
deloudelouvain10 September 2023
Pourris Gâtés (or Spoiled Brats for the English title) is a French comedy I was looking forward to watch just because of Gérard Jugnot, an actor that normally always makes me laugh. The movies he played in with "l'équipe du Spendid" are all very successful. From Les Bronzés, Les Bronzés font du Ski to the cult movie Le Père Noël est une Ordure, all movies that almost everybody watched and rewatched in France and Belgium. But this movie wasn't as good as I was expecting,mainly due to the extremely annoying characters. His children are all spoiled brats, and maybe it's just me, but I just don't enjoy watching people like that, even if there's a lesson to be learned at the end. It wasn't that funny so that didn't help either. I don't regret watching it though, just won't watch it again in the future.

Spoiled Brats shows you humility
d_penn1 January 2022
Not a bad movie at all. Only bad thing is it's in French (unless you speak it lol) subtitles are your best friend. Really shows the meaning of family and humility.

Rich but poor
kosmasp28 December 2022
No pun intended - the summary of this gave away the big twist the movie has. But I think it still kind of worked ... and I guess most will know where this is heading even without knowing what the movie plans for them (no pun intended here either). French comedies tend to go places that US/Hollywood counterparts are not touching. You may not feel that this movie touches stuff that way ... still it is funny - with or without the knowledge that is important and missing from our main characters (most of them that is).

How would you react if you found out that you are not rich anymore? Yeah I know! Most do not have that issue or can relate .. in that sense. But if you suspend your disbelief and just go for the ride, there is a lot of fun to be had ... even with the ridiculous twist this offers ...

Nice comedy...
Thanos_Alfie9 March 2023
"Spoiled Brats" is a Comedy movie in which we watch a father trying learn a lesson to his three spoiled children pretending that the family lost all of its fortune and now they will have to find regular jobs in order to survive and have food on their table.

I enjoyed this movie because it had a simple but very funny plot and it also contained plenty of humorous dialogs along with plenty of hilarious scenes. The interpretations of the main cast and more specifically of Gérard Jugnot who played as Francis Bartek, Camille Lou who played as Stella Bartek, Louka Meliava who played as Alexandre Bartek and Artus who played as Philippe Bartek were very good and their combination worked very well and gave us plenty of funny moments. Finally, I have to say that "Spoiled Brats" is a nice comedy movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure you will enjoy it and you will laugh a lot.

A funny... lesson
CroftAngel10 May 2022
Pleasant, funny and sometimes sentimental story.

A widowed father gives a life lesson to his 3 children, who grew up in the wildest luxury. They have no sense of duty, they don't value money, and they have no desire to do anything about their future. That's exactly what his father will try to teach him.

Cute Entertaining Movie
km_twnndwlltts30 November 2021
Light hearted entertaining movie. Good casting for interesting characters.

Apparently this is a remake someone else commented, so going to search for that movie as well and watch it, as I enjoyed this one that much.

Could do better
nutmadridmm17 December 2022
The Original movie is pretty God. Is funniest, romantic, sad, an the fool brother Luis y Karla are funnier, I prefer the other characters but still liked it. But the original is from 10 years ago, could be more modern and better dialogues and funniest scenes as the Original, I didn't like it, that I felt that was shorter than the original, because in the other happens romantic issues, sad moments, and you said: " you deserved it for irresponsible" . But as usual remakes are not better than the original. A shame.

But the story have a very bright and god lesson for life.

Recommends to see if you are an spoilt or snob even if you don't.

Watch the (original) Mexican version instead
searma174 December 2021
I tend to really enjoy French movies, so I gave this Mexican remake a chance. Bad. Idea. The movie tries to adapt the original story into French culture but it just doesn't work. For the first hour of the movie I didn't crack a single laugh. The Mexican story on the other hand is funny from beginning to end. Don't waste your time and just watch that instead.

Would've benefited from being a miniseries
simplysumfink28 February 2023
A decent premise and likeable and entertaining performances from Artus, Tom Leeb, Louka Meliava and Camille Lou notwithstanding, I can't help wishing that this largely acceptable feature had been produced as a miniseries instead. It just feels like so much of it would've benefitted from more time: more time to develop the plot, more time to witness the main characters' respective arcs (and maybe even to understand their individual evolutions) and more time to get to know the largely underused support characters. And definitely more screen time for Lou and Leeb, who tend to command your attention in most of the scenes they are in. The performances still make for an enjoyable hour and a half, though I was a little disappointed with the resolution. To be fair, this is something else more runtime would probably have resolved.

Funny and Beautiful
sktk-6730827 November 2021
Movies such as this may not get the best rating from the normie army that dislike movies that doesn't stimulate their stereotypes. But it's an enjoyable experience for people looking for a well told story.

Liked the genuine emotions and humour in this film, well written and excellent acting.

Loved it!
T2TLED7 December 2021
It was exactly what I needed. Would love to see other international versions. Could've been slightly longer with a bit more layers, but it did it's job.

Delightful !
putneychick29 November 2021
I truly enjoyed watching it. Even though the storyline is nothing original and predictable, it is the cast that made the film entertaining, funny and fun to watch. So whether it is a remake or not, it is a movie that is worth watching on its own merits.

Amazing
gianmarcoronconi11 December 2021
In my opinion, it is an amazing film that tries to teach a very beautiful morality and in part it also succeeds, even if perhaps in a too superficial way. Overall the film is very funny and entertains great throughout its duration.

Hilarious
Saoustou881 December 2021
This was a welcome addition to the Netflix French comedies. I really enjoyed the cast and the sheer ridiculouslness of it all. Tom Leeb is great as the Spanish gold digger con man and the ending was funny. A good film when nothing else to watch and an exact re-make of the Mexican original, which is slightly better.
