Marry Me, Dude

Marry Me, Dude (Épouse-moi mon pote, 2017) is a French farce you can watch online on iFILM. Yassine has just flunked his final exam, and losing the diploma means losing his right to stay in France. Deportation is days away. The only loophole left is a quick wedding.

Finding a bride overnight is hopeless, so Yassine talks his best friend Fred into a sham marriage — between the two of them. From there it's one absurd scramble after another, as the pair try to convince immigration officers, suspicious relatives and a sharp-eyed inspector that the romance is real. Tarek Boudali directs and stars, playing off Philippe Lacheau, the comedy duo French audiences know from the La Bande à Fifi films.

No hidden depths here — just broad, good-natured slapstick with mistaken identities, awkward dinners and jokes at the expense of bureaucracy. A breezy pick for a night when you just want to laugh and switch your brain off. Stream Marry Me, Dude (2017) online on iFILM.
