Synopsis: Franck and Karine are forced to entrust their daughter Camille, who is supposed to be studying for her baccalaureate, to her grandfather André, a retired gendarme who is as psychorigid as they come. Things take a turn for the worse when the other grandfather, Teddy, a former nightclub manager, turns up unexpectedly! Cohabitation between the grandfathers proves more than complicated, and Camille takes advantage of their quarrels to live her life as she sees fit...

Papi-Sitter is aimed above all at fans of lightFrench comedies and families looking for a film to watch together. With its tasty dialogue and absurd situations, this film will particularly appeal to those who appreciate stories where opposing personalities are forced to cohabit.

The Gérard Lanvin - Olivier Marchal duo, known for their talent in more serious genres, bring a touch of originality to this comedy. Fans of films such as Le Prénom and Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? will find the humor of this comedy based on generational conflicts and character differences very appealing.

On the other hand, those who prefer deeper stories or dark comedies may find the tone a little too light.

Originally released in March 2020, Papi-Sitter met with modest success in cinemas before enjoying a summer revival in June of the same year. Directed by Philippe Guillard(Le Fils à Jo), the film relies on accessible humor and punchy dialogue. Gérard Lanvin and Olivier Marchal, each anchored in strong characters, provide much of the situational comedy.

With Papi-Sitter, Philippe Guillard offers a family comedy full of tenderness and laughter. Thanks to its experienced duo of actors and a light but effective plot, the film is an excellent choice for convivial evenings. An ideal opportunity to rediscover Gérard Lanvin and Olivier Marchal in a new light.
