Serial (Bad) Weddings

is a 2014 French comedy film directed by Philippe de Chauveron, and starring Christian Clavier and Chantal Lauby.

Claude Verneuil, a Gaullist notary, and his wife Marie, a Catholic bourgeois from Chinon, are parents of four daughters: Isabelle, Odile, Ségolène, and Laure.

A family meeting is spoiled because of the awkwardness and clichés about race and religion, expressed as much by the father as by the sons-in-law, who even exchange insulting views to and about each other.

Meanwhile, the three sons-in-law get together and plan to stop Laure's marriage out of fear that their barely stable friendship dynamics will be threatened by a fourth member.

On the day before the wedding, André and Claude go fishing and unexpectedly find common ground in their dislikes, as both are Gaullists (Charles de Gaulle), and develop a friendship.

The National Post stated that the film's humor failed because "it sometimes strays across the good-taste divide and into actual racist remarks, played straight.

"[6] Variety magazine adds that the film has been criticized for "perpetuating racist stereotypes and feeding into France's ambient xenophobia.

The Telegraph reported that, "British and American cinema-goers will not get to see a hugely popular French comedy because it has been rejected by film distributors who deem it politically incorrect and possibly racist.
