Synopsis: Thought lost in the 2006 tsunami, Alex (Lanvin) comes back home after ten years to find the restaurant he owned completely changed and at the hands of François (Dubosc) who also married his former wife.
Review: Pension Complète is a modern remake of the classic 1963 La Cuisine au Beurre which was starring the two french cinema icons of the time: Bourvil and Fernandel. The tandem Dubosc/Lanvin from Camping is not at that level, and they are not helped in delivering a good performance by a simplified story multiplying the exaggerated confrontations between the two men. The wife brings some balance and reason to that, even some emotion thanks to the whole back story of child making- The only interest of Pension Complète is that it makes me want to re-discover La Cuisine au Beurre now after twenty years not watching it.
