Spoiled Brats

I truly enjoyed watching it. Even though the storyline is nothing original and predictable, it is the cast that made the film entertaining, funny and fun to watch. So whether it is a remake or not, it is a movie that is worth watching on its own merits.

It's over-the-top but light movie about spoiled kids of a self-made man and how he is trying to change things for the better.

It might be interesting to those who have problems with their own spoiled adult kids.

Him having a heart attack is relatable to many with their own problematic brats.

A fun clean film is such a rarity. Is it cookie-cutter? A 100%. But it is a cute chuckle fest cookie-cutter done so well. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The beats are perfect and it coasts along really well with tons of life lessons tucked in without the narrative sagging anywhere.

A decent premise and likeable and entertaining performances from Artus, Tom Leeb, Louka Meliava and Camille Lou notwithstanding, I can't help wishing that this largely acceptable feature had been produced as a miniseries instead. It just feels like so much of it would've benefitted from more time: more time to develop the plot, more time to witness the main characters' respective arcs (and maybe even to understand their individual evolutions) and more time to get to know the largely underused support characters. And definitely more screen time for Lou and Leeb, who tend to command your attention in most of the scenes they are in. The performances still make for an enjoyable hour and a half, though I was a little disappointed with the resolution. To be fair, this is something else more runtime would probably have resolved.

This is a decent comedy but nothing extraordinary about it. Sure, it sends home a message but this is not delivered with conviction. It's like it comes and it goes. It doesn't really stick in the viewer's mind.
