So Happy Together

So Happy Together (Tellement proches, 2009) is a French family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache — the duo behind The Intouchables — zeroed in on the particular agony of the obligatory family dinner. Vincent Elbaz, Isabelle Carré, and Omar Sy lead the cast.

Alain married Nathalie and, without quite realising it, married her entire family. Every Saturday, the same ritual: dinner at brother-in-law Jean-Pierre's place in Créteil, same faces, same conversations. This particular Saturday, something goes sideways. The film strings together small domestic disasters that anyone with relatives will instantly recognise. Stream So Happy Together (2009) online on iFILM.
