Samuel vit sa vie sans attaches ni responsabilités, au bord de la mer sous le soleil du sud de la France, près des gens qu'il aime et avec qui il travaille sans trop se fatiguer. Jusqu'à ce qu'une de ses anciennes conquêtes lui laisse sur les bras un bébé de quelques mois, Gloria : sa fille ! Incapable de s'occuper d'un bébé et bien décidé à rendre l'enfant à sa mère, Samuel se précipite à Londres pour tenter de la retrouver, sans succès. 8 ans plus tard, alors que Samuel et Gloria ont fait leur vie à Londres et sont devenus inséparables, la mère de Gloria revient dans leur vie pour récupérer sa fille... (Mars Distribution)

For me, Omar Sy is probably the foremost French actor of family comedies with a hint of contemporary drama. Any movie that he appears in is a joy to watch. By the way, the homage to Eddie Murphy was quite appropriate since they look awfully alike. And with his positive approach to acting along with his personality, he couldn’t possibly spoil a movie, including this one. Two Is a Family is a beautifully filmed human, amusing story that’s worth waiting for. It's a bit of a drag, but you get such a pleasant, warm feeling watching the movie that you don't really care, because this kind sense of humor can caress your soul.

Je n'ai rien contre les films émouvants pleins de douceur, mais Demain tout commence est un calcul manipulateur et superficiel inconfortablement tiraillé entre la poursuite d'une réflexion sérieuse sur les relations parentales à la manière des drames européens contemporains et le choix inapproprié d'une stylisation comique hollywoodienne, les deux approches contradictoires se perturbant mutuellement. Au final, c'est comme si les créateurs avaient voulu faire une nouvelle version de Kramer contre Kramer ayant l'apparence du Big Daddy de Sandler, ce qui tue efficacement toute impression de réalisme. Le premier quart d'heure est encore assez bon, mais le reste est une convulsion artificielle trop amère pour une comédie et trop plate, transparente et peu crédible pour un drame.

Les Français se sont distingués une fois encore et il n’y a qu’eux pour tourner de cette façon un film à la fois touchant et amusant. Je vois d’ici la façon dont un tel thème et un tel scénario auraient été traités dans une production américaine… Omar Sy est devenu l’acteur de facto pour ce genre de films depuis Intouchables et le reste de l’équipe lui enjambe joliment le pas. La fragile et éthérée Clémence Poésy s’est, pour une fois, bien illustrée. Après un temps d’attente, revoici une œuvre de qualité, mais venant du côté français, c’était presque gagné d’avance.

Les Français ont réussi un nouveau tour de force : susciter toutes les émotions possibles en une seule personne. Vous rirez, vous serez ému, mais vous serez aussi furieux et vous aurez envie de tuer quelqu’un. Je pense que la colère a pris le dessus dans mon cas. Certaines personnes, en l’occurrence la mère de Gloria, n’ont pas la moindre honte. Elle n’a vraiment aucune pudeur et elle a beaucoup de culot de débarquer et de réclamer quelque chose qu’elle n’a absolument pas le droit d’obtenir… ou je suppose que si en fait, à en croire le système judiciaire français. Oui, ça lui conviendrait bien finalement, de déposer l’enfant, de laisser les années les plus difficiles de la parentalité au père, et puis de débarquer des années plus tard en annonçant : « Coucou, je suis ta maman, alors maintenant je te récupère, ok ? » C’est un beau film, avec un message important, mais là je suis juste énervée. :)

Definitely one of the best, most intense and powerful films of the year. Omar Sy has another excellent role after The Intouchables and proves that he is one of the funniest black actors ever. Hugo Gélin has written another role tailor-made for him and this time instead of an immobile senior citizen he is in charge of a little girl, which is closer to my personal taste and the whole film had a huge impact on me. Omar has given up his life to give his daughter his all, a dream come true for every child and I think we can all agree that everyone would want a father like him. There is no shortage of funny moments, suspenseful moments, movie set moments, and poignant scenes that, especially in the final minutes, mine emotion so strongly that my eyes are still stinging two hours after it's over. I haven't screamed so hard at anything and yet it is not an emotional wipeout. An incredible film and France in full force again. 100%.

Definitive proof that Omar Sy is the king of dramedies with a social subtext. The Intouchables could have been a coincidence, Samba could have been god luck, but this time it's a sure bet. On his home turf, this walking breath of optimism simply can't be surpassed. And even though the twists may seem expected and overly emotional, a smaller but more important idea about fully enjoying life emerges throughout the whole story, opening one's eyes. And that's when tears really start to sting.

The French know how to make dramas and comedies, and they are also good at mixing genres. Two Is a Family is more on a serious note, but it also features many humorous moments, especially provided by Antoine Bertrand as Bernie. During the first two acts I thought I would give the film a solid three stars, but in the last act it all went up a notch and in the end the film played a lot on my emotions, and I ate it up hook, line and sinker. Two Is a Family isn't a comedy of the kind that will have you rolling with laughter, it's more of a humorously paced story of a father and daughter trying to live their life together to the fullest despite more than one obstacle.

For the second time in two days, I had to turn off the cynical bastard in me to enjoy an endearingly heart-aching movie. If I had been looking forward to a great comedy, I would have been disappointed, but as a drama, it works perfectly. I don't know why, but I like Omar Sy, whether he's playing an unexpected dad, a caretaker, a cook, or a gangster. He's accompanied by superb Clémence Poésy here, and it sure is a success. Maybe I also liked the film because I was expecting more of a goofy flick with a lovey-dovey happy ending. Instead, I got a drama that kept me entertained and the two hours just raced by. I hope the French filmmakers don't plan on making more of this sort of thing, I'd hate to change my negative attitude towards the French cinema.

The story of this film is a bit expected, there's nothing all that downright surprising about it, but you have to give it credit for being so well cast that it just sweeps you away. Omar Sy is such a great actor that he can handle any scene, whether it's a hotshot, a father loving his daughter, or an overwhelmed man. Everything works for him perfectly.

Compared to the Mexican film Instructions Not Included, Two Is a Family has a much better cast. Especially the likable Omar Sy and the charming Gloria Colston deserve credit for the fact that the plot moves along nicely. It is not as funny as the Mexican film, but the dramatic storyline is skillfully interwoven with slightly comedic elements, while the atmosphere is perfectly underscored by a very good soundtrack. Which I definitely find more appealing than some big spectacle. (70%)
