Synopsis, trailer and links to reviews.

Mick LaSalle's favorable review: "Its truthfulness will make audiences laugh -- and cringe, too, as they recognize themselves."

Joe Leydon's review: "At heart, the movie is, for all its stabs at ersatz naturalism, a standard-issue, traditionally contrived cultural-clash comedy." Two out of four stars. [Sort date: 2002.09.06]

Jack Seale's review: "...language barrier farce is, naturally, not enough to power a feature film, although 'The Chateau' persists with it for as long as it can."

Keith Phipps' review: "Never recovering the energy of its early scenes, the heavily improvised 'Château' becomes shapeless and dull."
