France released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: 2-DVD Set, Interactive Menu, Making Of, Scene Access, Short Film, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Focuses on the people who live in north France, making fun of the region's unflattering stereotypes to reveal the warmth of the people. A post office manager in Provence is punished when his superiors reassign him north. When he hears that 'north' does not mean Lyons or even Paris, he despairs. Colleagues tell him of a freezing dark place where it rains all year, people live in red-brick terrace houses and dunk Maroilles cheese in their coffee. When he arrives in Bergues, his car collides with Antoine Bailleul, a postman and carillon ringer in the town belfry. He believes that Antoine has a fractured jaw, but it is just his accent. The outsider, of course, finds that the Ch'timi have hearts of gold and are friendly to strangers, unlike Parisians or southerners. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: European Film Awards, ...Welcome to the Sticks ( Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis ) ( Welcome to the Land of Shtis )

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh till you cry into your good Ch'ti beer 17 May 2009
By Peloton
Format:DVD
I saw this in France while staying with my cousin, who's lucky enough to live there. It's in French; my French isn't wonderful. So how come I laughed till the tears rolled? Just stick English subtitles on (which somehow have an accent) and enjoy! This is that rare thing, the French taking the mickey out of themselves. You have to bear in mind that the largest French audience is going to be Ile de France, ie near Paris, so the so-called 'southern' French characters don't speak with Midi accents, otherwise no-one would understand anybody. But the comic timing is wonderful, the editing is wonderful, and I can't understand why the film isn't more widely available outside France. Apparently there's going to be an English version, involving Will Smith. Interesting to see if it can retain the charm of the original.

Format:DVD
A friend asked me to go and watch this film with her - I had never heard of it but I enjoy going to the cinema (especially the Rex in Berkhamsted). This film was brilliant! It was so funny and when I tried to explain to my friends and family why it was so funny I could see that I wasn't very good at conveying what I had seen. After lots of searching I eventually found it on Amazon from an international seller. I didn't buy it at first because I thought it might not be as I wanted - French with English subtitles and working on an English Region code. I have now bought it and I watched it with friends and like me they all agreed it was a gem! I would say this is in my top 5 favorite movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Les Chtis", "The Sticks" 29 April 2010
Format:DVD
Funny French DVD, subtitles needed maybe even for French speakers(!), unless you know the way they speak in the North! Funny stereotypes about Northern France. This film just makes fun of these stereotypes and shows how most stereotypes are wrong and people can go beyond their first impression - there's some good to be found everywhere. Lots of extra features on disc 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bad translation.
My wife teaches French and she bought this as a study aid. Although she enjoyed the film the translation is appaling. It is too Americanised and she cannot understand the idioms.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of most popular films in France
I am tempted to say "why?". Yes it is "Amusant" and it is a feel good movie but the story line is very thin. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars French Comedy at its best
This is a very light hearted comedy which whilst it is in French with English subtitles the subject matter is easily translatable and made for an entertaining evening.
