It’s very kind and soulful movie about what every of us in need of native and loved one particularly our children. “Monsieur Papa” is simple and clear for everyone friendship story that is full of love, nice humor and lovely mood. Kad Merad in his debut assembled terrific cast from beautiful Michèle Laroque, stylish Vincent Perez and great little actor Gaspard Meier, also himself brilliantly played main role. Maybe it’s not some masterpiece for aesthetes but it’s optimal film for evening watching with all family exactly.
