Father and Guns
Scott Guye
Father and Guns" (De Pere en Flic) is a police comedy in the most basic sense of the term. The film revolves around the dysfunctional relationship between a father and son. Jacques and Marc Larouche - interpreted by Michel Cote and Louis-Jose Houde - are both members of an investigative police team. The story develops as a fellow officer is kidnapped by a gang under investigation - forcing the duo to go undercover in the roles of ...father and son. The anger that Marc and Jacques portray for each other in their roles as police officers is equally displayed when they attend a relationship outing for troubled father/son pairs - both pretending and honestly yelling their way through a one funny situation after another.
With a rather limited budget, Director Emile Gaudreault has delivered a fun story full of comedy and an interesting plot. After a very successful opening in Canada - the film is currently Canada's highest grossing French-language film, Sony Pictures has already purchased rights to remake the film for American audiences. Audiences for the Cleveland Film Festival opening of "Father and Guns" were treated to a pre-screening reception at Shaker Square and a Q&A session following the film with actor Patrick Drolet who played a supporting role in the film.
