Feat. Dany Boon, Benoit Poelvoorde, Karin Viard, François Damiens

Aroview: Actor-director Dany Boon follows up his hit regional comedy WELCOME TO THE STICKS with another lite French farce founded in stubborn parochial attitudes.

Here, he plays opposite a provincial Belgian customs officer (Poelvoorde) who he must team up with in order to bring down a drug smuggling ring. Poelvoorde relishes his role as an anti-French bigot (recalling his blacky comic persona of MAN BITES DOG), as will an audience looking to see typical French pride put through its paces.
