Synopsis: David is still living by his own, whereas his girlfriend is pregnant. Chocked by the news, he just go home, where he is harassed by gangsters to whom he owes money. In parallel, the sperm bank tells him that from all his donation as young student, he is father of 533 children and 142 of them want to know him.
Review: The plot is really original and funny and the movie does not show the sperm donators as bad guys. The family of David has great characters, coming from a comic book. The story is not lead in the expected way and is full of funny situations. 
The scenery manages to give us the same surprises as to David.   
Rating: 6 /10

  1. Following your review I have watched the movie and found it very funny indeed! Very refreshing, and full of surprises.
    It is also helped by the great canadian accent when speaking French :-)
    I would even put it a 7/10.
