Comment: A feast for the eyes, the soul, and why not, and for the brain. The French gave up the palate and the patriotism of the culinary tradition (but in this film there is a meal worth of benefit) and give a good lesson to our own trite comedy. "Nicolas" is a cool movie, like the view of the world from a child, and confirms Kad Merad, actor almost unknown until two seasons ago, as a certainty when he's there, go quietly to be a successful work. He needs to work in pairs, this time as a trio, in a film that lifts the vision of the family without cliches or platitudes, but with the unexpected and caricature. This is because the world must be able to force an exaggeration, if it is seen through the eyes of a pre-teen: whether it is a continuous misunderstanding (between a brother who was born or maybe just steal the scene, a parent with the deformed face of an ogre, a good mechanic mistaken for an unerring assassin) whether to paint situations with sudden topic, one way, but not heavy. Nor surprisingly, the story comes from the father of Asterix Goschinny, one of the smartest comic book ever born. Nicolas and his friends have the retro feel, which leaves a good mood - and a dash of dependence - in who comes out of the room, in a healthy revival of what were the Little Rascals American television, directed evolution, a little faster and ramshackle of poetic naughty Chaplin. That just happens, even if wrongly, passes often to be more French than English. The stylized direction, but never frantic, does the rest, seasoning with the right hand and wrap the product. Dedicated to us, to discover that we needed Gianburrasca our cousins \u200b\u200bacross the Alps. In a return to the past with the scent of modern nostalgia.
Do not miss: Those initial 5-6 minutes, enough to outline all the main characters. Headlines in medias res, and at the same time because they have entered into the jovial atmosphere of the story.
VOTE: 9 - DELICIOUS
