This one-trick pony gets in a few good gags during the opening reels before heading to the most predictable and clichd places imaginable.

[Actor] Danny Boon may be a miser, but this French comedy belongs to him. [Full review in Spanish]

En Filme

Has a delirious prologue influenced by the colorful visual universe of Amlie (2000), to show us the childhood and adolescence of the protagonist. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/5

Cine Premiere

A production that requires the viewer's summer share, without commitment and without contributions to comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 1/5

Jordi Costa

El Pais (Spain)

Fred Cavay begins to draw his first comedy with the aggressive and markedly caricatured outline of a French satirical comic strip, less concerned with verisimilitude than with the force of the gag. [Full review in Spanish]

El Mundo (Spain)

A comedy, too exaggerated and repetitive, that has its best moments when they are unpredictable. [Full review in Spanish]

If you are a french speaking person you will enjoy this movie. It is funny and moving at the same time. Through humor it surprisingly tackles the subject of being "Radin", something we all are to a certain degree...wether or not we want to admit it.

A comedy based on a person who has psychological problems in not giving up their money for nothing. It is not super exaggerated, because I know people like that and I can say that from experience with other people, this is a serious case that deserves treatment, but as long as these people are not treated, it is a case of comedy in everyday life. Great movie! Very well portrayed! Incredible actors! Wonderful plot! Flawless production!

La rencontre entre une timide allergique à beaucoup de nourriture et un radin, sa fille avec peu sans revenus avec beaucoup d'illusions et très communiste. On se demande comment il fait pour payer ses dépenses et obligation tel impôts ou autres frais. Un banquier psych à l.opposé du clicher dont on pense d'eux. moyen.
