Sinekatalog’s take
A fast French comedy of mistaken identity where a lie about origins snowballs into a whole new career. It plays with prejudice in a cheeky, if sometimes uneven, way. A lively crowd-pleaser for those who enjoy farce with a social edge.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
