Rien à déclarer (Nothing to Declare) Review



This French comedy is a good twist on the conflict between the Belgians and French at their respective borders in the early 90s. It follows a Belgian "Franceophobe" customs officer; Ruben Vandevoorde, whose severity of following laws goes to an extreme of forcing traffic to queue at the border so as to not let in any unworthy "Frogs". He is later forced to duo with French customs officer Mathias Ducatel, who, at the time, was dating Vandevoorde's sister. A fine example of French comedy, 4.5/5 stars.
