Our best Christmas movies

Our best Christmas movies Christmas time is full of miracles - beginning with birth of Jesus, via family meetings or&and reconciliations. That is why our favorite film this year is Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas). Maria’s grandfathers told her some similar stories about this terrible World War I. Miracles do happen :).

Bad weddings 2

Bad weddings 2 - read reviews before you watch it An elderly couple living in a French province (beautiful landscapes) has four daughters and four sons in law. Every young man has different roots, culture, faith, skin colour etc. Even they are so different, one day they make the same decision - to quite France and start a new, better life elsewhere. Madame and Monsieur Verneuil do their best to keep the big family close. Do their best?

And so we decided to watch this movie with some expectations. And we came out disappointed. C’est la vie.   Maria&Paul Summa summarum: 4/10 ...

Supercondriaque

Supercondriaque - a super French comedy A French 39-years old single, not the most handsome one, believes to have all possible diseases. How can a hypochondriac fall in love? And how can someone fall in love with him? Not an easy task but Dany Boon & Co. manage to make it truth. At least on the screen.  Romain’s doctor and only friend, Dr. Dimitri Zvenka, tries to cure him by dating. Not a classical procedure but it seems to work. Mostly due to Anton Miroslav, the leader of a rebel in Tscherkistan. Tscherkistan does not exist, Anton Miroslav has a different identity and Romain can finally eat with a rat.  There are not too many surprises and that is probably why for some viewers it appears to be “quite a lame romantic comedy”, but there are moments of laugh. Yet, this movie is not to compare with Welcome to the Stiks, but still it gains a lot due to the French comics Dany Boon and Kad Merad. Both actors, by the way, are born to Algerian fathers and French m...
