Welcome to the Sticks (Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis)

synopsis


Welcome To The Sticks tells the tale of post office manager Philippe Abrams and his wife Julie, who love the sunny South of France. But when Philippe gets caught trying to cheat his way into a transfer to a Riviera town, the punishment could not be worse. Philippe must pay for his sins by spending three years at a post office in the dreaded Nord Pas de Calais: France's northernmost region, reputed for its bad weather, rusting factories, smelly food and socially retarded inhabitants who speak an impenetrable dialect. A film phenomenon in its home country of France, the hilarious Welcome To The Sticks is a heart-warming comedy centering on regional differences and local traditions, making this a universally entertaining film.

This is a great movie which we enjoyed enormously. Essentially the tale of a French Postal Manager seeking a placement in the Med who fouls it up and gets placed up in 'the North' (ie the sticks) where it is reputed to be cold and unfriendly. He goes and meets his fellow workers - an eclectic mob of seeming misfits- but ends up fitting in and liking it. Of course he has to convince his wife he is having a terrible time as she stays behind to mind small child. Despite the fast conversations in French the captions keep pace with the fast humour. We like it. Send us more like this.
