It's all pure hokum, perfect for a Shirley MacLaine remake, but it's lovely to see Lafont carrying a film so effortlessly.

What are critics saying?
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
Far too broad and simplistic to enjoy as the offbeat soufflé it so desperately aims to be.
Politics aside, however, the movie delivers on the inspiration of its premise, featuring just the sort of laughs one hopes for.
The Hollywood Reporter by Sheri Linden
With director Jerome Enrico mining the material for only the most obvious gags, the social commentary of the central joke never rises to the level of hard-hitting satire, instead settling on a broadly observed collection of types.
