About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, summery French farce with car chases, disguises, and a sweet romantic thread; Not for you if you need a plot-heavy comedy or subtle humor like The Miser.

Pros: nonstop slapstick energy; sunny Saint-Tropez setting; charming romance beats | Cons: thin story; repetitive series gags; broad, noisy humor
