Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the few early-2000s Québécois comedies to feature a gay character without making him the punchline. Émile Gaudreault later directed the more successful 'Mambo Italiano.'
Geneviève Brouillette and François Morency had zero chemistry in rehearsals—Gaudreault leaned into the awkwardness, rewriting their dynamic as 'comfortably mismatched.'
