Ele Tem mesmo os seus Olhos

A drama told in a light and fun way, it skidded at the end with the comic exaggeration and slapstick, it could have been taken a little more seriously, but the theme is pertinent and necessary, in France, due to the large number of immigrants, u no prejudice and xenophobia are great, and always reported in the movies, that's where my love for French cinema was born, always formidable, reflective and critical...

This film makes a fun comedy out of the serious issue that social services tend not to be so keen on mixed race adoptions - and in this case, particularly where the baby is white.

The acting from all the cast is very strong. If I were to look for faults, I'd have to say that rather too much of the weight of inner conflict is settled on the shoulders of a single character - Claire Mallet. Doing this, I suppose, helps to keep the plot "tight", but at times it does make her motivations a little hard to accept. But don't worry. Just enjoy the story.

Unfortunately, as they get excited - which they do - the French gets a little difficult for some of us - and the subtitles start to flash up and dissappear very fast. So in terms of improving your French - this film is definitely not for beginners.

Finally got around to watching the cute French film dealing with interracial adoption. It's a comedy with some parts that pull at the heart strings. Maternal grandmother steals all the scenes, I wish she was in the film even more. Some of the storyline was very over the top but it's lighthearted. Watch and enjoy

Funny, entertaining, and cute. It's a light comedy. While you won't remember it a year later, you will thoroughly enjoy watching it.

I really enjoyed this film. Starring the glorious Aissa Maiga as one half of the lead couple who adopt a baby and keep his ethnicity a secret from their family. On the one side, you've got a social worker whose prejudice drives her surprise visits, seeking faults in the home or familial environment, and on the other, you've got the baby's adopted grandmother, doing what West African mothers do best - exaggerate everything! Luckily, she does this to comic effect, and I couldn't stop laughing throughout the film.

From the social worker's perspective, it's alright for white couples to adopt black children, as this is an already accepted practice, but it is not in the best interest of a white child to be adopted (or to be the first) by a black couple.

Without giving anything more away, I'll simply say that this is a great film to watch with friends and family, alike.
