The movie begins like many other low budget french comedies: unoriginal story, bad acting, unfunny jokes, terrible photography, same worn out french actors. And then the story takes off at the same time as the main character. The movie turns into a simple and humble love comedy, full of neat ideas. I think Jerome Commandeur should stick to comedy scripts only and find other people to direct and act. Definitely not the next film of the year award flick, but should be good enough to make you smile a few times. If this was (re)made by an Hollywood studio with a few big names, I can easily see it turn into a commercial success.

This re-make is not as hilarious as the almost great original movie "Quo vado?" from twenty sixteen. But it is pretty solid. Instead of stealing the scenes from that movie it just takes the plot-points and the general idea, filling the blanks with new material.
The cinematography is pedestrian and does not offer anything new. The fast-cut sequence is made a bit awkward and misses the correct rhythm.
The chief of the tribe is played by a an obvious frenchman. And since he says gibberish anyway and is an episodic role they could have used a real native of whatever place they have tried to portray.
