What a funny - while subtle and sensitive film.
Under the guise of a posh wedding at a castle in France - where little goes as planned, the film takes aim at French society (in general).
Funny moments abound - from slapstick, to word play, to delightful chaos, to more subtle allusions. Knowing a thing or two about French humour, culture and society may definitely help one enjoy it even more.
Even if you don't know much about the French and their quirks, you may still enjoy the film and maybe develop a taste for their delightful tongue-in-cheek situations.
After the film ended (and I stopped laughing) I realized how multilayered and subtle the film was.
Warning: if you are into Hollywood stuff, you may NOT find this one up your alley.
