How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted: 49

Fresh: 25

Rotten:24

Average Rating: 5.6/10

Consensus: This listless, albeit sexually charged, French farce is too lightweight to make any impact despite its whimsical qualities.

Rated: Not Rated

Runtime: 1 hr 33 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Sep 9, 2005 Limited

Synopsis: For summer vacation, Marc takes his wife Béatrix and their two children to the seaside house of his youth. The Mediterranean wind blows, the sea churns, and the heat of summer stokes their desires.... For summer vacation, Marc takes his wife Béatrix and their two children to the seaside house of his youth. The Mediterranean wind blows, the sea churns, and the heat of summer stokes their desires. Their daughter Laura, 19, has a rendezvous with her biker boyfriend, and their son Charly, 17, roams with his best friend Martin, who is in love with him. Béatrix is sensitive to the undisclosed, erotically charged atmosphere that exists between the boys, and imagines that her son is gay. When Béatrix’s lover Mattheu shows up, and Marc`s old flame appears, complications escalate and the vacation collapses into hilarious chaos. --© Strand Releasing [More]

Works well so long as it is approached as a tongue-in-cheek farce as opposed to a plausible melodrama.

Valerie Bruni-Tedeschi (who looks like a Gallic Gillian Anderson) is superb here, giving a weirdly sexy, frequently distracted performance that works well.

a funny, sexy, and very French diversion that's as weightless as a Mediterranean breeze.

If anything, the film is proof that a European sex comedy can be just as boring as your run-of-the-mill comedy if the writing isn't up to snuff.

Little more than an alluring travelogue with a side order of R-rated humpiness.

Abrupt cuts and reversals, repetition of jokes, and limp dialogue conspire against anyone’s caring about the characters or their movie.
