Simply Perfect
Overrated and overhyped
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It's not the best comedy out there (or second-best), but it makes fun of a serious theme, has a lot of good (some very good) jokes, nice actors and good timing - time flies by with Tanguy, no scene is longer than necessary. What I liked most is that it's trying to play against expectations. Yes, he's living with his parents, but he's no loner or nerd; in fact he's hanging around with a new chérie every week (and brings them home, of course). He's an intelligent and confident man, but he loves his parents and enjoys living at hotel Mama. (This made the scene where he's suing his parents a bit unbelievable).The end seems forced but seemingly, faced with a stubborn nemesis like Tanguy, even the scriptwriters had to revert to miracles!
This film is hilarious--I saw it just today in Germany (in French with German subtitles). The first part goes into broad comedy, with the parents scheming to find ways to get their son to leave the nest. This film is just as much about the parents--even more--than the son.i noticed that someone else commented about the Asian aspects of the film. At first, it really doesn't make sense, except to show Tanguy's fascination with the country, and almost as a goal (for the parents)--have him go to Peking as soon as possible. By the end, it's wonderful because there is a subtle comparison (that the audience must make) about the family situation. That is--the Chinese filial responsibility, love, and respect--and yes, there were three generations living under one roof. And in the Guetz household--all three generations have, at one point or another, lived under the same roof. That's just one way of looking at it. If you see it and go in with that idea of comparing cultural aspects of families, then maybe that would make better sense.
Tanguy made me laugh even though my understanding of French is far from perfect. The plot is simple - life in his parents Paris apartment is so pleasant Tanguy a post grad student is still there at 28 years old but his parents secretly want him out!Sabine Azema (Tanguys mother) was so funny that she really made the film for me. Don't miss it if you like to laugh!
Saw this one recently and found the subject matter quite interesting, namely a 28 year old boy who doesn't want to leave the comfort of his parents' home. However hard they try to get him to leave he just won't go ! The film is a bit long and the idea wears itself out a bit by the end but the film is guaranteed to make you laugh ........... unless of course you have a child like Tangu !I didn't see the relevance of the "Asia" element but presumably it was added in an effort to give "spice" to the film. Whatever the case, the acting is first rate and I think the film should in the coming months gain worldwide renown ( if indeed it is diffused in other countries than France ). If you've seen Tatie Danielle by the same cineast (Chatiliez) the caustic humour of this film is similar to that. Quite an original style and worth seeing !
