touching, brilliant and a must see film

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2015)

I don't know what to say! I stumbled upon this film by accident last night. It was showing on BBC four and as a lover of French Film I thought I'd give it a token few minutes.
It got me straight away! I was hooked and drawn in! It's a superb movie from start to finish. Great plot, storyline, script, score and characters! Never have I laughed so hard in a Film. The character of Driss was superb in provoking laughter. And Philippe was so poignant in his words and expression! You got every emotion. It's not only hilarious but also heartwarming and special and conveys a brilliant message that everyone can learn from. Then, to my delight, to find out the end that this was inspired by a True Story! That was the nail on the head! It all made sense.
This is honestly up there as one of my all time favourites. I can't stop thinking about the lighthearted feel of it and it's making me day dream and smile today. I will be watching this film again soon, which I certainly don't often say about many films.
LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!
