It's reasonable to suppose that the overwhelming success earlier this year of Les Bronzes 3 is the reason for this quick domestic version and, it has to be said, however obvious and in-yer-face this is nevertheless a huge box-office smash in France. Go figure. The plot - and I use the word loosely - has cosmetic surgeon Michel (Gerard Lanvin) driving to the South of France with daughter Vanessa (Armonie Sanders) in his top-of-the-line limo which breaks down mysteriously and coincidentally right next to the Flots Bleu campsite where all the regular punters who go each year are assembled. Naturally it's impossible to fix the car until Lanvin has had sufficient time to bond with the common herd - and take part in a running joke in which women keep flashing their boobs at him for his professional opinion. The likes of Claude Brasseur, Mylene Demongeot and Mathilde Seigner keep us watching but whilst he has charm and menace to spare Lanvin is not a natural comedian and he gets top billing. Nuff said.
