Wikipedia article
'Coco' is a 2009 French comedy film written, directed, and starring Gad Elmaleh. The film is based on a character sketch he created for his one-man show "La Vie Normale". The film earned $8.5 million in its opening weekend at the French box office, and went on to gross $11.7 million in the European market. Although it was a box office success, 'Coco' was not well received by critics. It received only one star out of four from 'Premire', 'Paris Match', and 'Tlrama', and two stars from 'Elle' and 'Le Journal du Dimanche'.
Synopsis
Coco is a wealthy Maghrebi Jewish businessman and an immigrant to France. After 15 years of financial success (due to his invention of a new type of sparkling water) he decides to throw an enormous bar mitzvah celebration for his son Samuel. Determined that the celebration will be the most fantastic event of the year, Coco alienates his entire family as he plans for the gala.
