Synopsis
Wealthy Jewish businessman Max Zagury is appalled when he learns that his daughter Lisa is having an affair with a non-Jewish archaeologist named Jean-Christophe.  He had intended that she would marry Sydney, the son of the man who once saved his life.  Unfortunately, Lisa has no intention of marrying Sydney who, in any event, is a closet homosexual... 


Film Review
After a string of turkey-shaped disappointments, director Alexandre Arcady has finally hit rock bottom with this careless montage of tired clichés masquerading as a film.   The sloppiness of the script is surpassed only by the ineptitude of the direction which takes a bland inconsequential storyline and translates into a mind-numbing cinematic ordeal of the worst kind.  The acting is almost universally atrocious, although this has more to do with Arcady’s lame direction than the ability of his cast.  You can only weep to see actors of the calibre of Patrick Chesnais and Gérard Darmon wasted in such a shallow venture as this.
