This is a really funny comedy in which love is put to the test… for money.

A simple comedy, which is very funny and has that “French” touch that is so comical that we love.

Searching for a good time this week-end? Look no further than “Price of Parenting” for the perfectly funny formula.

Some parents who never get any visits from their busy offspring decide, in order to win them over, to fake winning the lottery.

About the Movie

Funny, no more nor less, but with that very French touch that knows how to make a family comedy that is truly funny.

Intelligent lines in this social comedy that has four very inspired actors delighting in comedy which at some times is a little less elegant but equally funny.

The luminous smile that famously graced the face of Audrey Tautou in “Amélie” is replaced by a no less radiant expression of crestfallen heartache. Tautou plays Nathalie, a young woman who loses her great love, François (Pio Marmaï), in a traffic accident. Her stranded heart remains indifferent to the desires of men overwhelmed by her beauty, including her lecherous boss, Charlie (Bruno Todeschini). Thankfully, tragedy has caused Nathalie to favor an uncommon level of frankness, and she has no problem telling Charlie...
