TC Candler's Review

B+

Lost in French nation...

Two American brothers, one black and one white, travel to France to take ownership of their newly inherited castle, which comes with its own moat and servant staff. The language barrier, the culture clash, some sexual tension between the brothers and a maid, and a few well hidden secrets make 'The Chateau' one of the most entertaining films of the year.

Shot on an extremely low budget on digital film, this goofy romp has a way of making you chuckle all the way to its surprisingly poignant conclusion. Paul Rudd and Romany Malco generate some extreme hilarity and Sylvie Testud gives a subtly moving performance.

This is a great rental for all those who weren't in proximity to the 4 theatres that played the movie during its limited theatrical run. It is a comic gem!
