This French comedy finds four cheeky young city dwellers creating a faux documentary about the drug trade in Paris. When a television network picks up their production, the friends, including Youssef (Jamel Debbouze), get sent off to a high-end resort town for an extended vacation. Given the boys' various ethnic backgrounds and the posh nature of their holiday surroundings, classes and cultures clash mightily, making for plenty of humorous moments.

camille l Un debut catastrophique, un scenario qui tourne a vide au bout de 10 minutes, des acteurs en apparence horripilants, LE CIEL LES OISEAUX ET TA MERE vaut son salut a un retournement de situation au bout d'une heure et a un JAMEL DEBBOUZE qui n'a jamais ete aussi bon que calme. Une petite reussite au vu du postulat de depart. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
