Having organised hundreds of events, he&#8217;s close to throwing in the towel. Today however, he&#8217;s organising a lavish wedding at a 17th century chateau. As usual, Max has taken care of everything. He&#8217;s hired the cooks, waiters and dishwashers. He&#8217;s recommended a photographer, reserved a band and arranged the floral decorations. In short, he&#8217;s done everything to make the reception a success. But whatever can go wrong will. The joyful celebration becomes a series of mishaps, missteps and chaos.<\/p>\n<p>The audience get to watch the event from behind the scenes. Max is at his wits\u2019 end more than once. The question \u201cis it worth it anymore?\u201d comes into sharp focus. Having recently gone through the wedding experience with my daughter, the opening scene alone brought knowing nods.<\/p>\n<p><i>C\u2019est La Vie<\/i> undoubtedly signals a number of its punches. The exaggerated and flawed, even incompetent, characters and their interactions make this movie. Infighting, shenanigans and illegal employment are the order of the day, with blunders at every turn.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WjV8m84FcOs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The sumptuous setting \u2013 a stunning French palace \u2013 is not too difficult on the eye.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding the fun though, the writing and direction by Olivier Nakache and\u00a0\u00a0\u00c9ric Toledano needed tightening.
