Paris-Willouby

Movie Rating: Geoffrey Crété

The Guilby-Lacourt family is not very balanced. The relationship of parents Claire and Maurice is increasingly strained, Claire's son, Alexander, drives everyone crazy with his attempts to educate them on vegetarianism, Maurice's daughter Lucia is in the midst of an adolescent crisis, the youngest, Plum, is a big dreamer, and Claire’s brother Mark has dragged his problems into their family home. When her father dies, Claire takes everyone along to the funeral – a road trip to Willouby. The journey opens up their problems and all the weirdness that entails...

A family in crisis is an inexhaustible source of comedy and Paris-Willouby, with its simple plot, has little else to offer than the classic program: a dysfunctional group is thrown together on a trip that will of course end well for all. Nothing new then, especially since all the energy is supplied by Isabelle Carré, Stéphane De Groodt and Alex Lutz, a somewhat effective comedy trio with no real spark, with a few good bits that are nonetheless clumsy. A flavorless debut by Quentin Reynaud and Arthur Delaire.
