The story is quiet boring for a long while, in fact especially the dialogs,

even if the "psychoanalysis" topic was ahead of its time...

Most is silly and stupid, but not everything is bad...

Some scenes are funny, Raimu is equal to himself,

but I wouldn't say there are many hilarious moments.

There are some, but I was expecting much better !

For me, the law of the series is on :

I watched yesterday "La fine combine" (1931) with

Fernandel (5,6 on IMDb), and it was the same kind of weak comedy...

But this one is still much better...

So, quoting other commentators, on a rainy afternoon...

there are many worst ways to spend your time !

Anyway, compared to most last twenty years comedies,

this one is surprisingly still on the upper range...

I give a 6,0, but Raimu alone could get 9

NB for some "huge" commentator, it's seems easier not to give a rate, aside their comments.. (and therefore having the risk to get negative disapproval answers ?! I wonder...)

I agree that the rating system is not perfect at all (could it be ? impossible !) but showing a rate gives an indication on how much one enjoyed the movie... (isn't it like that ?) Otherwise there wouldn't be any rating system !

Edmond (Pierre Brasseur) is glorious ly happy.He has just married Mister Parpillot's daughter ,Pauline .On a train,during their honeymoon,a customs officer goes into their compartment asking "anything to declare?".This sentence has a disastrous effect on the young man:conjugal duty has become impossible,he is completely inhibited. So when Pauline comes back to daddy's house(Raimu) she is still a virgin.

Dad decides to take the bull (so to speak) by the horns.He consults a shrink,speaking of his son-in-law as "one of my friends" and the scene is hilarious : the shrink thinks that it's Dad himself who has become impotent and "his friend" is imaginary.In order to enliven things a bit ,he takes Edmond to shady places where they meet Dad's old lovers ,Pauline Carton,Dad's missus and even the shrink himself living it up.

Directed by Leo Joannon,whose final films were peaks of bad taste,and although inevitably a bit repetitive,"Vous N'Avez Rien à Déclarer" is an entertaining little comedy.And the "psychoanalysis subject" was ahead of its time,before Lang ,Hitchcock,Siodmak,Tourneur and others made it one of their favorite themes in their dramas from the forties.
