I love, love, love this movie

Amen :)

I've been enjoying French films recently (some not all) and I was delighted when my wife got me this as a Christmas stocking-filler. We watched it tonight and it's a charming film, full of gentle laughs and observations. Recommended.

Agreed. We just watched this movie in my French class and I loved it. This film would be worth owning on DVD.

It is very sweet, the kids are all wonderful actors.
And it was extremely funny! The episodic style of the film works very well with one situation drawing outrageous laughter and the next one to top the previous scenes.
Just wonderful.
