Although living a comfortable life in Salon-de-Provence, a charming town in the South of France, Julie has been feeling depressed for a while. To please her, Philippe Abrams, a post office administrator, her husband, tries to obtain a transfer to a seaside town, on the French Riviera, at any cost. The trouble is that he is caught red-handed while trying to scam an inspector. Philippe is immediately banished to the distant unheard of town of Bergues, in the Far North of France. Leaving his child and wife behind, the crucified man leaves for his frightening destination, a dreadfully cold place inhabited by hard-drinking, unemployed rednecks, speaking an incomprehensible dialect called Ch'ti. Philippe soon realizes that all these ideas were nothing but prejudices and that Bergues is not synonymous with hell...

| Toronto StarGreg Quill[Dany] Boon tinkers with the formula just enough to make his story fresh and the sentiment at its heart not too sweet, though compounded contrivances in the last 30 minutes of the picture threaten to unravel its peculiar magic. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunWelcome to the Sticks is the most successful movie ever released in France, possibly because self-deprecating humour is so rare there. |
| Globe and MailKamal Al-SolayleeThere's nothing revolutionary or artistically groundbreaking here, but there's something reassuring in the fact that this is what the French have anointed as their biggest hit. Vive la (low-key) différence. |

| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy WoodendLike any fish out of water story, the fun lies in the details, and to its credit, Welcome to the Sticks supplies them with polish. |
| The ListKaleem AftabBoon thinks it funny to leave the boom in shot all the time. It isn't. Indeed, little in this drivel is funny. |
| User ReviewSophia WSuch a funny movie! :D Though I recommand to watch it in French because you can't translate the accent into other languages... |
| User ReviewAnna PbonÃssima! divertidissima! genial! molt recomenable |
| User ReviewMaik PAwesome. Just awesome. A recommendation for all laughing-the-whole-movie-long-fans. |
| User ReviewSacha Veven funny for a ch'tis from the real Nord - Flanders! Had a good laugh. |
