Serial (Bad) Weddings 3

Claude and Marie Verneuil will soon be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. For the occasion, their four daughters - Isabelle, Odile, Ségolène and Laure - decide to organize a big surprise party in their family home in Chinon. They also decide to invite, each, the parents of their respective husbands - Rachid Benassem, David Benichou, Chao Ling and Charles Koffi.
French comedies are just a special brand that hits differently than others. And I mean that in the most positive way.
There's a certain style to it you don't find anywhere else in the world.
This particular series is filled with dark humor, a certain sense of political incorrectness (though it mostly makes fun of the generation refusing to adapt to change in the world) yet still manages to be about family at core.
While I admit that this third installment borders on most ridiculous yet and is quite frantic in it's editing (just let a scene play out maybe?) it's still a whole lot of fun with some great actors attached to it.
