Performance-wise the highlight was former AstГ©rix (wow, did he look different back then) Christian Clavier. The ending is unsurprisingly the wedding and the speeches of the two dads provide nice closure. But these criticisms do not take away anything from the film, which was usually at its best when it did not try to be dramatic, but 100% comedy. These kinda lacked the wit the dialogs otherwise had.

And I also did not like those ethnicity-related nicknames they gave each other. One example, I thought the whole parents-possibly-divorcing story at the end was a bit undeveloped and random. There were really only very minor flaws there. The center here is the youngest of the 4 sisters (she looks like a French Rachl McAdams), who gets married to a Senegalese. And the great thing about it is that the way they summarized the 3 first marriages early on so quickly, they could turn any of these into a prequel to this movie. And, also for me, this is a success, possibly the funniest 2014 film I have seen so far. One reason may be that director/writer Philippe de Chauveron and his co-writer Guy Laurent go way back and have worked together on many movies already. It is the 4th most successful film in France since 2002 (probably longer, that's only how far back I looked) after 'Intouchables', the 'Ch'tis' and 'Avatar'. 'Serial (Bad) Weddings' (the international title, don't really like it) has by far been the most watched film in France this year and made twice as much money as the second place movie. Here we have the same situation in France. Yesterday I watched 'Le meraviglie' which shows us the ways of a father with 4 (considerably younger) daughters in rural Italy. There is no greater equality than mocking all religions at the same time. So, if you are easily offended, shout racism on every occasion or can't laugh about stereotypes, then don't watch it. The title already tells you the path of this movie. That they got 4 daughters who marry a Jew, a Muslim, a Chinese and now also a Black man.
