Zouzou g Tanguy is a sharp, witty French comedy that brilliantly turns a social phenomenon into a cultural reference. Étienne Chatiliez, known for dissecting family dynamics with humor (La vie est un long fleuve tranquille, Tatie Danielle), delivers here one of his most iconic works. Tanguy is more than a comedy; it’s a cultural marker that turned a real-life trend into a household term. With sharp writing, stellar acting, and a mix of tenderness and cruelty, it remains one of the best French comedies of its era. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Audience Member A pair of parents get rid of their "overstaying" son by resorting to childish pranks.
