Enjoyable, But Nothing Special
13 May 2016
Every holiday Marcel and his family go to their cottage in the Provence (France). He likes the hills in this region. During one of these holidays he meets Isabelle, a pretty but conceited girl...

Many people have championed this film. I guess I don't get it. I liked the movie, and it was fun, but not mind-blowing. There is a prim and proper father who has a weird obsession with teaching and always being right. There is a mother who seems to more or less just exist, despite the film having her in the title.

What stands out the most is that one of the kids has a ridiculous dubbed voice. Maybe I should have watched it in French, but I didn't, and this is what I was stuck with.... a kid with a weird voice.
