Rick Groen Globe and Mail Mar 19, 2002
2.5/4
Narratively, what we have here is a basic road movie, a genre that too often doubles as an excuse to hide a flawed script -- merely an episodic series of loose vignettes. Go to Full Review
Tom Sime Dallas Morning News Dec 6, 2001
We realize early on that nothing much is going to happen ... and it's hard to stay fully engaged with a film that, frontal nudity notwithstanding, plays it so safe. Go to Full Review

Brandon Judell PopcornQ Dec 10, 2002
delightful new road comedy by the equally delightful directors/lovers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. Go to Full Review
Paul Malcolm L.A. Weekly Oct 1, 2002
It would all be too obviously feel-good if Ducastel and Martineau weren't also tuned in to the liberating drift of the open highway and a sharp native humor that adds needed flesh and blood to their walking metaphors. Go to Full Review

Nov 25, 2010 This is a beautiful, unpretentious film. Sami Bouajila is gorgeous as is his portrayal of Felix and Patachou as Mathilde was perfectly cast and brilliantly played. If you're studying French, or just a casual student of language and come across the term "Joie de vivre", then look no further than this film for its definition because they fit each other to a T. I've often lamented the sad state of American mainstream film but if you care to see a film done right and without a hundred million dollar budget, here it is. What the French do right seems so effortless, too; a simple story, exception players, film it in France. Olivier Ducastel has my vote for Director of the Century, just from this one film. See more Oct 22, 2009 This was a tolerable movie. Not impressive by any means. You can find racism everywhere, appreciate the love that you already have See more Jun 1, 2009 Perhaps only French could make a potentially gloomy background (Felix, the main character, is a gay, HIV+, Arabian in France who has just being laid-off; with a paternity question) into something so positive, optimistic & laid-back. See more Mar 20, 2009 Life is a journey.. Family is those who cares about you.. Patachou and Sami is just great in this. Enjoyable. See more Mar 4, 2009 It's an interesting concept, and although the story is good, it does sometimes get a bit weird. But overall, it is an okay movie. See more Jan 1, 2009 una road movie bien particular Felix se pone en búsqueda de su padre que nunca ha visto pero en el camino descubre a una verdadera familia todos ellos desconocidos See more Read all reviews
