Movie Haiku:Paul Bérard (Blanc) is a middle aged pharmacist who keeps tight control of his life, but all his routines are thrown into disarray by the sudden arrival of Nénette (Balasko) the daughter he never knew his father had. Slapstick comedy slowly turns into dramedy until, by the end, various Bérards become one family. Sweet French confection. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
