LE MONDE EST A TOI (THE WORLD IS YOURS)

Watchable. Clearly a comedy but I barely laughed. Some gags are to the point and funny at the same time, e.g.: "They are immigrants." "But they're sailing from Spain." or "Le Coran" and a granade planted in a little girl's pink Hello Kitty bag. The tongue-in-cheek title reflects the multicultural reality of France and Spain (set partly in Benidorm). But the film is mostly playing with conspiracy theories, immigrants, old good narcogangsters who've become connected with terrorism, overbearing mothers and kidults. Good music, by Omar Souleyman among others, makes it all holiday fun.
