Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis
France's biggest French-language hit comes to the U.S.
If all of this sounds extremely local, Boon already has an idea of how the movie’s scenario might be adapted for an American audience. “I think the best thing to do is to have a guy from New York, who makes a big mistake and has to go to a little town in Texas,” he says. “Everywhere in the world, we all know about cowboys and Western movies. And I think it could be really funny, when the guy’s wife comes to visit, to have a little Western town, like in the Old West. Even the way it would be filmed would be like in a Sergio Leone movie. That could be really funny.”
In the meantime, Boon — or at least his mother, the “wonderful ch’ti” to whom the film is dedicated — isn’t letting his newfound superstardom go to his head. “I called to say, ‘Mom, it’s unbelievable, we are number one at the box office. The movie is going to be a huge, huge success. Can you believe it?’ And after a little silence, she said, ‘Don’t buy a new car.’ ”
