Les Tuches is a series of films directed by Olivier Barroux, which are meeting more and more success. The first opinion already achieved a nice score with 1.5 million entries for the history of this family of unemployed who earn 100 million euros. The Tuches 2 will have 4 and a half million spectators in theaters and the Tuches 3 another 1 million more! Impressive prize list for a French comedy! Originally from Bouzolles, the Tuches traveled a lot, they went to Monaco, the USA, the Vatican and even to the Elysee Palace in Tuches 3 where Jeff became President of the Republic. Where will the Tuches go for this 4th film? And then return to Bouzolles for a real Christmas movie with everything you need in it. For Christmas, Cathy played by Isabelle Nanty, simply asks to reconnect with her brother and sister with whom Jeff has been quarreling for 10 years. And must say that Jeff and his brother-in-law camped by Michel Blanc, are rather incompatible. The first is a proud unemployed person, even though he is now very rich. The second is a child of meritocracy, for him everything we have in life, we must deserve it and people like Jeff are assisted blah-blah we know the song. Jean-Yves the brother-in-law, works at Magazone which sells all kinds of stuff on the Internet and kills the small business (yes Magazone, an online store on the Internet, it reminds of something eh?) So Jeff Tuche is going to buy a toy factory coveted by his brother-in-law, making toys, and giving them away, he won’t even sell them.
Les Tuches is typically the very popular film about which we would like to say “Oh no, I don’t like it at all, it’s really bad” but we can’t say it because it’s not bad, because it’s funny, because the characters are very endearing, because it is sincere cinema and made with the heart. So yes in this new episode you will find all the clichés of Christmas movies, but in Tuche sauce, and once again it works very well! Once again Olivier Barroux succeeds in making an effective “feel good movie” . Even if the thread is a bit thick: the criticism of overconsumption, internet sales that kill small businesses, and finally the moral that says that at Christmas the most important is still the family. We do not shy away from our pleasure in finding the whole family with even a few more characters to put some new blood in this pretty mess. This is THE film we need to end this year 2021 which has not been the funniest one can say it and I have a little news to finish the column well: Olivier Barroux has already announced it, there will be a Tuche 5, he found an idea which it seems is completely crazy! I can’t wait to see it
