| User ReviewMike MLe trio amoureux classique: une belle princesse, son frere/pere (trop) protecteur qui veut la marier et son ami amoureux de la Belle! ;-) Cette fois-ci transpose en milieu rural dans l'Algerie d'aujourd'hui. La famille Mekbel est tres attachante: Rym est incroyablement magnifique et surtout lors de son mariage (pour les anti-mariages, il y a de quoi se convertir ;-) et Mounir, malgre son caractere et son intransigeance, est trop drole lorsqu'il se met au volant d'un des 4x4 du Colonel et simule sa vie revee: il est super mignon a ce moment ;-) Tous les personnages sont chouettes et bien joues. Je recommande sans reserve! :-) |
