This film is hilarious: go and see it!!

I'm also a french canadian , and seriously ....our "accent" ( because I really think that it is people from france that have a strong accent ! ) is far away from funny.

Anyway the movie is excellent , and sorry for english-speaking people ...but you ll have a hard time understanding that movie. As lame as it is to watch an American movie translated in french ( most of the time by France-French who know nothing about english ), watching a Quebec movie in english is even worse .Most of the jokes are badly translated and it s shame for us....because english-speakers 'll think our humor is lame.....which is quite the opposite .....

I also absolutely loved this movie.I only read a review in a magazine about it and decided to see it. I actually saw a German dubbed version, so I don´t know if the jokes were well translated but it was one of the most enjoyable and charming movies I have seen in a long time.

For us europeans, the french you speak in Canada IS funny, but it does not mean ridicoulus or bad just different. Why do you get offended so easily when somebody says that?. Do not forget that french comes from France and even in France, some accents sound funny (marseille, Corse). Take it eeasy, you are such nice people, that acting like that, you may sound peculiar

My family and I went to see this movie on a whim one of the last few times we visited Quebec all together. (We moved to Ontario 13 years ago, and as us kids get older, it's harder and harder to spend more time together as a family...) and I have to say that I did not really want to go see it at first, mainly because I hadn't heard anything about it. I have always been a Raymond Bouchard fan, and Benoit Briere kills me in the french-canadian Bell Canada ads, so I was not surprised I loved it so much. It's not profane, it's not racy, it's just an awesome movie featuring some of the best talent La Belle Province" has to offer.
A funny side story.. If I am to believe my mother (which I usually do) the island where it was filmed is actually predominantly English-speaking.. which is ironic considering they've turned it into a typical French village!

On the tangent of "Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain" and "Un long dimanche de fiançailles" it would be a shame not to watch both those movies based on the fact that there is an allusion to sex, and maybe one or two sex scenes. It's tame my American standards, and the French narrator's delivery makes it all worthwhile. I encourage you to watch it. Though I have not watched the English version, and I think it might lose some of its appeal if the language wasn't translated as lyrically. As for "Fiançailles", it was beautifully shot, and Audrey Tautou is heart-wrenching in it. Two great movies, but "Séduction" takes the cake for me, it's just to good to miss!

Sorry I'm so long-winded.. I learned English late in life, so I have to catch up!
