Welcome to the Sticks
Welcome to the Sticks
Post office manager Philippe (Kad Merad) is caught out angling for a posting to the French Riviera and is instead dispatched to the dreaded Pas de Calais region in the notoriously inclement north.

Director Danny Boon (who co-stars in the role of local postal worker Antoine) mines a rich vein of witty wordplay and physical slapstick in this genial comedy. 

Selling over 20 million tickets in its native France, Welcome to the Sticks has become the most successful French film ever.
