Eric Bishop is depressed. His two stepsons dismiss him and are falling under a bad influence. He misses his first wife Lili who is the love of his life. Their daughter Sam is studying for school and needs help from them to watch her newborn daughter Daisy. He had abandoned them when Sam was a baby due to his panic attacks. His fellow workmates from the post office gather to try meditation with stolen weed from his stepkids. Football fanatic Eric is visited by an imaginary French footballer Eric Cantona who gives him valuable advises.
Comedy is the one genre that can struggle in translation. It can be the language or even the local dialect. In this one, it is the local culture. I'm sure the scenes with Cantona is hilarious for his football fans. Personally, I'm clueless. They are mostly dead spots. I don't care. The story with Lily is fascinating. His relationship with her is great. On the other hand, the gun seems a little out of place. It's trying to be both serious and end it in a humorous way. These are compelling characters but the humor is mostly lost on me.
