1/5
The clash between anglophones and francophones is territory ripe for comedy, but this laboured attempt at humour doesn't bear fruit. Go to Full Review Stephen Cole Globe and Mail 10/07/2011
3/4
Funny in both official languages, French Immersion is the story of career-conscious English Canadians who flock to a small Quebec town to meet a Tremblay and learn French. Go to Full Review Greg Quill Toronto Star 10/06/2011
1.5/4
An embarrassment from beginning to end, a silly, laugh-deprived farce designed to poke fun at an issue - the two solitudes and their language rights - that has as much currency as the length of Farley Mowat's beard. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 02/28/2012
2/4
The end result is a movie that often comes off as a pilot episode for a new CBC sitcom... Go to Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies 10/07/2011

If this sounds silly, it is, but it's also very funny. Both English and French Canadians get to be the butt of the jokes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/31/2018 Hilarious movie about in both of Canada's main languages. See more 03/17/2015 Je m'attendais à pire. See more 03/07/2014 A decent ensemble performance with interesting characters, but it unfortunately tends toward the way-too-cliche in the end: settling differences with a hockey game, for instance, (using jersey recycled from Bon Cop, Bad Cop... seriously), or the classic "get on the plane but at the last minute get off the plane" rom-com ending. Enjoyable for a while, with a couple of big laughs, even, but wears out before the end. See more 02/15/2013 Now here is a fun, light and a happy feel good film. I completely loved the simplicity and yet fun spirit of the movie and the end was extremely satisfying... See more 12/19/2012 Excellent film! Très drôle et très intà (C)ressant! Je lève mon chapeau à toute l'à (C)quipe! See more 07/17/2012 Bien ordinaire, mes sympathiques. See more Read all reviews
