Benoît finds himself in debt and has to ask his wealthy parents for help once again. His plan to get the money: make them believe he’s marrying his girlfriend, model Emily. The young couple is invited to Morocco to meet the whole family. When Emily cancels their trip to the airport, Benoît decides to invite his big-mouthed Uber driver Fiona instead.

Starting with the worst part: the script is completely empty and the humor is just stupid, without any trace of wit. Vulgarity is everywhere, which wouldn’t be a problem if there was at least some subtlety, but no, it’s just vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity, probably aimed at pleasing a certain type of audience. In short, there’s not much to say about this French comedy. Of course, Michèle Laroque and Gérard Darmon are seasoned actors who have nothing left to prove, but what were they doing in this disaster? A pleasant surprise, however, is the male lead, whom I had not met before, but he gives a solid performance and adds value to the film. Another thing I liked was the opening scenes with the kidnappers, which were well shot, but unfortunately, the rest of the film was not finished.
