Nothing to Declare

Nothing to Declare is a 2010 French comedy film. The plot according to Wikipedia:
On 1 January 1993, two customs officers, one Belgian and the other French, have to deal with closure of their small customs post situated in the middle of the small village of "Courquain" (French) or "Koorkin" (Belgian).

Both a hereditary Francophobe and an over-zealous Belgian customs officer, Ruben Vandevoorde is forced to join the first Franco-Belgian mobile squad. The first French volunteer for the squad is Mathias Ducatel, Vandervoorde's personal bête noire. He does this because he has fallen in love with Vandervoorde's sister Louise, and is afraid to unveil their love because of the trouble it will cause within her family.
I got a big kick out of this one, even though comedies aren't my favorite genre. I watched it on Amazon Prime, but it's free on Tubi.

Screen Daily says "The film is undemanding but engaging, boasting smartly staged visual comedy."

  1. This sounds like fun. I have often driven through those little 'customs' offices between France and Belgium, mostly sleepy little places where the officers wave you through without even getting out of their chairs. Valerie

  5. Sometimes comedy is good. Sometimes you just want to be entertained.

    1. Comedy is never my first choice, and somebody else always has to suggest it, but I usually enjoy them.

  7. I'm not a fan of comedy, but this didn't feel like a comedy to me. Maybe because I thought the humor was more subtle.
