Synopsis:

Christian Clavier's farce about a French lesbian (Muriel Robin) and her lover's silly brother (Clavier) posing as a couple to adopt a Thai orphan (Maily Florentin Dao) offers a gag every 30 seconds, and enough jokes hit their mark to make this a pleasant diversion. Robin and Clavier make a terrific oddball couple, and the grizzled Jean Reno plays it straight as the doctor assigned to make sure they're legit. Things get complicated when the brother ends up in a Bangkok jail and his sister (Héléna Noguerra), a lawyer, swoops in to bail him out while also catching the attention of the widowed doctor. Granted, some jokes - about Thai food or names - are in questionable taste, but this is a movie that gets laughs from a parrot that screeches 'F**k you.' You've been warned.

César Borgnoli, an unsuccessful car salesman from Italy, lives well beyond his means. In order to get out of his financial disaster, he agrees to a deal: he pretends to be the husband of his sister's girlfriend Kim so she can legally adopt a little girl from Thailand. Caesar believes this to be a great idea and is looking forward to his trip to Thailand. After all, he is going to be able to mix business with pleasure - so he thinks. He didn't expect the local police, the Chinese Triads and the director of the orphanage to chip in, who want to make sure that little Mai is going to end up in a nice family.
