Synopsis

Suffering from empty nest syndrome, two lonely parents concoct a scheme to get their kids interested in them again: they pretend they've won the lottery.

Community Reviews

Viewers generally find 'Mes très chers enfants' a delightful and humorous exploration of family dynamics, with standout performances by Josiane Balasko and Didier Bourdon. The plot, revolving around retired parents tricking their children into visiting by pretending to win the lottery, is filled with amusing situations and poignant moments. While the film is praised for its entertainment value and emotional depth, some critics note that the comedy occasionally misses the mark with a few gags falling flat.

👍 Strong performances and heartfelt moments

👎 Some jokes may miss the mark
