A very cute film with an interesting plot and beautiful scenes of urban France.It is better than Diary of a Wimpy Kid,much better. It has a more interesting story and characters that give the film a funny twist. I like the fact that it shows a importance of education in French society.Many American films directed in the U.S. don't emphasize any educational values including Diary of the Wimpy Kid.I give it stars.I do recommend it to everyone.

The movie was so cute and fun. It has been 4 years since it was released and I wonder where is its sequel, because this movie deserves one or maybe those who loved it will anticipate like I do. The characters were very well created and developed, the timing of jokes was excellent. When I saw Kad Merad on the first frame of his appearance in this movie, I could not control myself from laughing and knew it would be an awesome and I gonna have a nice time with it. And I did.This movie was based on a series of French children's books. It reminds me 'Diary of a wimpy kid', about a kid who had his own imagination and mistook the occasion he witnessed with his parents which makes him to act quickly to make it right. So the little Nicolas forms a little gang from his school friends and theirs adventure is ours (audience) fun ride.As a children movie fan I loved it from my heart and wanted more of it which was lasted for just 90 minutes. Watching a movie like it make me a kid, sometime it will recall my childhood memories. I feel I am so lucky to see it and hope you won't miss after reading this review. Highly recommended for kids movie fans.

The children in this movie delivered no doubt a great performance. What I didn't like was the pace in this funny comedy. Sometimes it was slow paced but there were also some scenes where our family had to laugh. The story is too far fetched but children have enough fantasy but I really have expected more. The father of Nicolas played his role solid as his wife. The atmosphere, the costumes and the well adapted music were original and gave this film a sentimental touch.If you liked it then don't miss the great french success "Bienvenu Chez Les Chtis" or "Mister Bean's Holiday".Final vote: 5/10.

This movie is amazing. It is not often that I go to see a foreign movie, but people had told me how good this one was so I just went. And I do not regret it. The actors all seem to fit perfectly for their part. I found it hard to imagine how they were any different in real life. One gets kind of nostalgic, seeing those children in their school uniforms. The story is just wonderful, and it is really, really humorous, the entire audience laughed throughout the movie. It is not that kind of funny in the way normal Adam Sandler and those Hollywood movies are. It has something more to it, it is not, well, hollow (cannot really describe it). The way the director has got this set up, to see the world the way a kid sees it, to look into what's going through their mind, this is all just wonderful. I walked out of there with a little smile on, I was all fuzzy after having laughed so much.I would really like it if my town would start showing more foreign movies like this one.
