Audience Member I laughed at parts of this movie that describes a relationship between a French Jewish girl a French Muslim Arab. They have been dating for four years, yet living separately, when suddenly the woman discovers she's pregnant. They decide to introduce their partner to the respective parents. Will they be able to survive the meeting with the parents? Will they stay together, or separate? You''ll need to see the entire movie for the answers. Just one funny part is when the Muslim man wants to visit a synagogue. He borrows a yarmulka and a talit from his Jewish friend, he puts the yarmulka on his head and he's going with it on his head to the Muslim neighborhood without intention. You should see the looks of his religious uncle and the other people there. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Surely an entertaining French movie ! The original (French) title is: 'Mauvaise foi'. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member nice and refreshing movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Un peu maladroit par moments mais touchant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Buena peli! Muy chévere como se toca aquí la diferencia entre religiones y culturas, aunque un poco obvio el abordaje! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome French film...Interesting tale of an inter-ethnic, religious relation between a jew and a muslim...Strong cast who did a great job in making a rather controversial story seem so comical yet with a hint of the serious message the director cum lead actor wanted to send out...Brilliant and enjoyable.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
