Nicolas is your typical boy, growing up and enjoying the time of his life.
He has parents who adore him, he goes to school, play with friends... yes, his life seems all too perfect.

But one day, overhearing his parents in a hush hush conversation, he was led to believe that her mother's pregnant
and soon, he was about to have a little brother.

Suddenly, strange imaginations crossed his mind, thinking he might be abandoned in a lost forest and eaten alive by
wild animals...
No, this can't be happening, he has to do something to changed their minds, he has to think fast before things get out
of hand... before it's too late.

This film is your quintessential Little Rascals remake.
It has a good story, the dialogues are quirky, funny without trying too hard,
great casts and charming setting.

Watching it gives you another point of view when it comes to dealing with kids and understanding them.

My favorite character aside from Nicolas, (who's the narrator and protagonist of the story) is a student name
Clotaire, who plays a lazy, no brainer kid, his expressions is a scene so hard to miss and of course,
the comedian Valerie Lemercier, who never fails to let us laugh till we drop.

  1. I have always been attracted to the film with the theme of childhood. It is so magic that stage of life. This kind of movies if they are good they help me recall my childhood.

  2. I enjoyed your review! The little film looks quite entertaining. I like the 50's retro backdrop. I'll keep an eye on netflix for it.
