Tanguy

This is just a quick entry about a French comedy called 'Tanguy'. It's about this guy who just will not leave home and how his parents try just about everything to get him out of their house.

Some Italian friends of ours recommended it and we loved it! So much that we bought a copy. However, it does not really reflect the Italian tradition of remaining with your parents until you are sometimes well over 30 years of age. Italian parents would not go through the same antics as Tanguy's – Italians love to keep their offspring at home for some reason. Italian mums never seem to tire of cooking and washing for their family and go out of their way to discourage independence, or so it would seem. Strange and totally different from the UK.

Check out Tanguy and see if you can rent a copy on DVD from your local Blockbuster or video rental store. I don't think you will regret getting hold of a copy.
