Daddy dearest
14 October 2002
Despite of the great reviews this film got locally and in France, this picture will test the viewer's patience in absorbing the whole story and its details. It is a story that one can only view with a detached attitude since most of it seems to be far fetched, to say the least.

Why would the Charles Berling character, married to the beautiful, if a bit of an ice queen, Natalie Regnier, fool around when he has the real thing at home? He stands to lose it all if he tells the wife he's more satisfied with his exotic assistant. Not only that, but he needs a prostitute like he needs a hole in his head!

Did Michel Bouquet, the father of the story, beget this children, or are they adopted? No father deserves the double whammy of producing an idiotic doctor and an aspiring comedian, whose humor is so stupid that he'd better have a day time job in the local boulangerie.
