    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although the real-life 'Driss' was a young Algerian man called Abdel, directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache changed the character's nationality to Senegalese, as they had enjoyed working with Omar Sy on Tellement proches (2009), and really wanted him to play the part. Sy also had the experience of living in the impoverished French suburbs, just like Driss.
    • Goofs
      When the police car first appears behind Driss, you can hear a short burst of the siren, which is clearly an American-inspired tone (also used in UK etc.) When the pursuit begins, the police car has the recognizable and correct French siren tone.
    • Quotes

      Philippe: My true disability is not having to be in a wheel chair. It's having to be without her.

    • Crazy credits
      Five percent of the profits from the film will be donated to the Association Simon of Cyrene - 15 rue de Suffren - 75015 Paris whose purpose is to create shared living spaces for disabled adults and friends.

    Wonderful, funny and touching
    Well, I've just got out of the theater and i must say that all the reviews are right. this is an amazing film! The actors are simply the best, Omar is not only a great comic but also a great actor.

    The filming has a certain touch that brings to mind "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" in the way the director was able to capture not only the suffering of Phillip but also the joy.

    Not wanting to spoil the film for others, i highly recommend seeing this in the theaters and with a loved one.

    It is also a good film for teenagers as it holds a few wonderful life lessons.

    Enjoy.
