Not as in "not there" or shut off, but as in not your usual simple style. Some would call it inconsistent or lacking focus and flow.
A Comedy? with two completely abusing parents torturing their children to feed their sick egos?
A perfect couple of perfect successful professionals consider themselves "modern enough" to agree a friendly divorce because, in their own words, their passion has became a good friendship. They have it all perfectly planned: dad, a doctor, will fulfill his dream of spending half a year in Haiti as volunteer.
Since most comedies are dumb and dumber I wait for positive word of mouth (from reliable viewers) to watch one. Papa ou Maman did quite well at the box-office and someone told me it was funny so I eventually checked it, my expectations set very low since comedy is seen by producers as a safe bet (to sell the project) rather than a fine challenge (to make a fine movie, discover talent, start a franchise...
... and that says it all ...
This is the worst "movie" I ever saw.
Although the whole film is very relaxed and interesting, the plot and performance are also amusing, but not very like his settings, parents to divorce all kinds of child abuse.
