Agree with the above. Perfectly well made, written & performed I guess, yet it annoyed the hell out of me due to the insufferable French family who I all wanted to die horribly & painfully. Who also would have thought Chris Rock would end up being the most sympathetic character? I can see why people like it (particularly if you're a fan of Woody Allen or Two Days In Paris - which I'll admit I haven't seen), but it just did my head in. The scene involving a cameo by a famously difficult actor musing over the soul not only came across to me as immensely pretentious, but was done far better in a Simpsons episode over a decade ago. Will certainly work for a specific audience, but it did absolutely nothing for me (aside from making my blood boil). 2/5
