An average movie

To be honest, I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid but, back then, I thought it was pretty funny. Sure, the whole thing is pretty easy, it makes fun of a scout group and there is a fair chance that I would find it rather lame if I would re-watch it nowadays but, at the time, I really liked this kind of comedies and I thought it was really entertaining. In fact, I wonder I watched this thing when it was released. On one hand, I was just 5 years old so it seems rather unlikely but, on the other hand, I went to the movies with my mother when I was very young. Anyway, at the time, Gérard Jugnot was already pretty famous as a comedian in France but he was also an aspiring director and this movie was his second directing effort. Personally, I never been attracted by the scouts (in fact, when I was a kid, I had to go every year to some summer camp - called ‘colonie de vacances’ in French - and I always dread it) but this movie was apparently rather fairly faithful. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
