Purely Joyful Movie!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

In the history of motion pictures there are innumerable films for children as there are films meant to be watched only by adults. However, it would be an absolute disaster to state that "Le Petit Nicolas" is solely a children's film. In reality, it is a film made by an adult person about some mischievous children whose world is completely different from those of adults. As it is a film which features both children and adults, it can be said that it can be watched by all sections of society. At the heart of this film is the birth of a baby boy which triggers a series of hilarious adventures involving Nicolas and his friends. For a young child, a school and a home remain two of the best places where maximum learning happens. This is also true about this film's kids who seem to have a lot in common even though they come from diverse socio cultural backgrounds. Most of this film's adult characters do not seem to be popular with young children as they live in their own world with their own problems. One young, lady teacher is the only exception to this rule as due to her 'caring nature' she is able to make some difference in the lives of innocent children. Any viewer who has enjoyed school days as the best time of life would surely appreciate "Le Petit Nicolas" for revealing a world of innocence where mischief and pranks are as useful as books and pens in learning about life and beyond.

The movie was so cute and fun. It has been 4 years since it was released and I wonder where is its sequel, because this movie deserves one or maybe those who loved it will anticipate like I do. The characters were very well created and developed, the timing of jokes was excellent. When I saw Kad Merad on the first frame of his appearance in this movie, I could not control myself from laughing and knew it would be an awesome and I gonna have a nice time with it. And I did.This movie was based on a series of French children's books. It reminds me 'Diary of a wimpy kid', about a kid who had his own imagination and mistook the occasion he witnessed with his parents which makes him to act quickly to make it right. So the little Nicolas forms a little gang from his school friends and theirs adventure is ours (audience) fun ride.As a children movie fan I loved it from my heart and wanted more of it which was lasted for just 90 minutes. Watching a movie like it make me a kid, sometime it will recall my childhood memories. I feel I am so lucky to see it and hope you won't miss after reading this review. Highly recommended for kids movie fans.

The children in this movie delivered no doubt a great performance. What I didn't like was the pace in this funny comedy. Sometimes it was slow paced but there were also some scenes where our family had to laugh. The story is too far fetched but children have enough fantasy but I really have expected more. The father of Nicolas played his role solid as his wife. The atmosphere, the costumes and the well adapted music were original and gave this film a sentimental touch.If you liked it then don't miss the great french success "Bienvenu Chez Les Chtis" or "Mister Bean's Holiday".Final vote: 5/10.

This movie is amazing. It is not often that I go to see a foreign movie, but people had told me how good this one was so I just went. And I do not regret it. The actors all seem to fit perfectly for their part. I found it hard to imagine how they were any different in real life. One gets kind of nostalgic, seeing those children in their school uniforms. The story is just wonderful, and it is really, really humorous, the entire audience laughed throughout the movie. It is not that kind of funny in the way normal Adam Sandler and those Hollywood movies are. It has something more to it, it is not, well, hollow (cannot really describe it). The way the director has got this set up, to see the world the way a kid sees it, to look into what's going through their mind, this is all just wonderful. I walked out of there with a little smile on, I was all fuzzy after having laughed so much.I would really like it if my town would start showing more foreign movies like this one.
