CGiii Comment

It's a loud French farce with a ridiculous storyline - similar to Patrik 1.5 - it doesn't take too long before it becomes unbearably grating and the trite sentimentality would throw anyone into a vortex of vomiting.

However, it is sweet, pleasant and truly sickening.

Perfect for an old lonely queen who prefers knitting to rock climbing.
