Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel. It’s partly for me, mostly for my mom.

Le Petit Nicolas

Yesterday I went to see the film Le Petit Nicolas. It doesn’t matter what language you speak or how serious you are about films to like this one. It was particularly enjoyable for me as I only paid 3 euros for it! As it turns out, Paris is so in love with films, they reinstate them in the theatres so you can enjoy your fav’s on the big screen…and at a much-reduced price from the regular 10 euros! As this is not a new film, it was in the “small” theatre that sat only 250 or so people, but it was quite comfy nonetheless.

The story of Le Petit Nicolas is neither complicated nor markedly original, but it’s funny. The little star, Nicolas, a mischievous young fellow who is convinced that his parents are going to get rid of him because they’re going to have a baby, bands together with his friends to come up with a plan to safeguard Nicolas’s position in the family. Meanwhile, completely unaware of their son’s fears, the parents prepare for a dinner to impress the father’s boss. Honestly, I can’t tell whether the plot summary is intriguing on its own, so you should just go see the movie, and then get back to me.
