3.0 out of 5 stars Not a patch on the original., 24 Mar 2007
A likeable enough remake of a brilliant French original, but on the whole it just doesn't live up to the original French movie, "Mon Pere Ce Heros".

Depardieu is (of course!) still very funny, and has the most expressive face in movies.

The humour is there but just doesn't work so well in French and there are some cringeworthy moments.

Heigl, though just as loveable at this age as she is as an adult, also just isn't a good enough substitute for Marie Gillain.

On the whole, likeable teen movie stuff, but the original film is better by far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic movie, a real laugh a minute!, 28 April 2004
By E. C. Bellenes "ohmrdarcy" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ever since I first watched this movie I have rated it as one of the topfilms of all time, it is really funny, all the characters are fantasticand Depardieu is superb as the girls father. This film is certainly onefor the girls - a truly great chick flick! the love interest of course isextremely good looking and will have you working up a sweat! Hurrah for afilm which provides everything a comedy film should do, a real laugh andit should be watched over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Comedy - totally hilarious and awesome., 7 Aug 2006
By Uenna (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The saying 'What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive', was never more true than it was in this movie. Nicole (Katherine Heigl) and her father Andre (Gerald Depardieu) gave a hilarious performance in this fantastic comedy. Andre and Nicole's mother are divorced and Andre has not seen Nicole in five years. Nicole is now 14 years old, insecure and resentful of the fact that her father has been absent for the last five years. She blames it on the fact that he has a girlfriend, Isabel in Paris and as such no longer cares about her. While on vacation with Andre in the Caribbean, Nicole meets a local boy and to impress him she tells the most outrageous lie. As the web of lies spin out of control as the story unfolds, poor Andre was treated like a 'pariah' by everyone on the Island without him knowing why. Until Nicole tells him about the lies she told and asks him to play along. This movie is simply hilarious; you will laugh from the beginning to the end. It s also a very emotional and moving comedy, as the movie explores the relationship between an estranged father and his daughter, tests their love for each other and in the experiencing they come to a better understanding and appreciation of each other. This is a beautiful, hilarious and moving comedy. I strongly recommend this DVD.
