Indeed, the protracted early going is laid-back in a summer-holiday kind of way, with cinematographers Robert Gantz and Pascal Marti leisurely taking in the beauty of both the four leads - often seen in TV-like close-ups - and the gorgeous island most famous for being Napoleon’s birthplace. Their daughter-focused banter should really elicit more chuckles than it does, however, seeing how much time the early going dedicates to the restrictions that should apply to them, which doesn’t deliver much in terms of drama and even less in terms of surprises. Laurent tries to be a cool permissive dad, which frequently leads to criticism from the too-controlling Antoine, which gives them something to talk about. To make matters worse, the girls’ fathers don’t have much else to do but set rules for their kids and keep on checking their every move, especially when they find some male friends their own age to hang out with.

Laurent ( Cassel) and his 18-year-old daughter, Marie ( Alice Isaaz), are spending the summer with Laurent’s best bud, Antoine ( Cluzet), in the latter’s dilapidated if extremely spacious childhood home, picturesquely hidden in the pine forests of Corsica. It also has a shot at some offshore action in venues open to more commercial French fare, though hopefully no one will want to make a remake of this remake.

Seeing how the Berri film is a well-known property in France and this is the first onscreen pairing of two of the country’s biggest stars, at least initial business should be decent for this June 24 release. With ample (too) young female flesh on display and plentiful bromance moments between the adult male leads - read: complainting about the older women they’ve divorced/are separating from and eyeing up the bikini bottom-clad behinds of younger girls - this sun-dappled dramedy clearly is geared toward early middle-aged males, despite the fact that the screenplay was co-written by Lisa Azuelos(who wrote and directed both the spunky original LOL as well as the ill-fated remake that starred Miley Cyrus and a much older Demi Moore).
