Serial (Bad) Weddings (2015)

This is a movie to watch

Over the course of several years, the Verneuils, a traditional, Catholic, bourgeois couple, witness their four daughters' marriages. Each native French-speaking son-in-law comes from a family of immigrants: of Chinese, Arabic, Jewish, and African descent, respectively. Will this family, with a mixture of races, religions, and emotional intelligence survive the multicultural, multi-religion, and multi-racial forces that threaten to tear it apart? With its colorful rainbow composition, will it encounter the scorn of society that is in transition to multinational dimensions? Will it survive? Or will it crumble?

Tradition clashes with progress. Family tensions create a series of pressure-cooker situations that reach certain climaxes yet keep the spectator laughing and entertained throughout the whole movie. Reconciliation of these tensions with the reality that the Verneuil parents love their daughters unconditionally results in many unpredictable outcomes. Blending comedy and drama genres makes for a unique combination of humor and storyline that pokes fun at race, religion, and emotional states of mind, without denigrating any one perspective. The movie challenges the concept that multiculturalism only exists outside of France. All the above reasons make "Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?" an indispensable movie to watch.
