Claudio C Le Petit Nicolas / Little Nicholas (2009) Delightful and Refreshing Entertainment (12,068 – 13 Dec 2010 / 17 Nov 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In a suburb in France, the boy Nicolas (Maxime Godart) does not know what he wants to be when he grows up since he is very happy with his mother (Valérie Lemercier), his father (Kad Merad) and his schoolmates. When his friend Joachim has a baby brother, Joachim tells to the other boys that his father had become very gentle with his mother. Then Joachim vanishes from school. Nicolas partially overhears the conversation of his parents about a dinner party for his father's boss and he misunderstands, believing that his mother is pregnant and his parents want to get rid of him. Nicolas tells his friends, and they decide to hire a gangster to vanish with the baby. But they need to raise the money first. "Le Petit Nicolas", a.k.a, "Little Nicholas", is a delightful and refreshing entertainment, with a gang that recalls the characters of Quino's Mafalda without the political jokes. I laughed a lot, but the dinner party and the visit of the minister of education to the class are among the funniest moments of this original comedy of errors. Revisiting this comedy, it continues to be among the best comedies ever. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "O Pequeno Nicolau" ("The Little Nicolau") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/25 Full Review Remy P This is the worst British movie ever! Who wants to kidnap a baby from a friend? They do! Just deal with a baby! Worst movie in my opinion. Never ever recommending it! If only there was a -200 option. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/25 Full Review Patricia S It was adorable, with very lovable characters and wonderful acting from the children. However, it lacked a followable plot. Additionally, the dinner scene with Mr and Mrs Mouchebaume was riddled with second-hand embarrassment and awkwardness. Overall, an enjoyable film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Aender S An excellent film with a great cast, nice visuals, powerful soundtrack and foremost brilliant pacing. You could reproach it the liberties it took from the source material, but to me this a brilliant feel good film for people of any age.
