Product Description
Nicolas leads a peaceful existence. His parents love him, he's got a gang of great friends with whom he has a lot of fun, and he has no desire that anything should change... But one day, Nicolas overhears a conversation between his parents that leads him to believe that his mother is pregnant. He panics and imagines the worst: soon a little brother will be there who will take up so much space that his parents will no longer have time to take care of him. They'll even go so far as to abandon him in the woods like Tom Thumb...

Nicolas mène une existence paisible. Il a des parents qui l’aiment, une bande de chouettes copains avec lesquels il s’amuse bien, et il n’a pas du tout envie que ça change… Mais un jour, Nicolas surprend une conversation entre ses parents qui lui laisse penser que sa mère est enceinte. Il panique alors et imagine le pire : bientôt un petit frère sera là, qui prendra tellement de place que ses parents ne s’occuperont plus de lui, et qu’ils finiront même par l’abandonner dans la forêt comme le Petit Poucet…

Ordered this from Canada as - for shame - not available on dvd in the UK. A real treat of a film, revealing the world through the eyes of a child - the time and place almost immaterial. My wife and I both teach primary (elementary) school kids and the humour, observation, emotions and exploits are spot on. Laughed and cried and laughed again. Excellent.

I had feared that this film, based on the books by the prolific "scenariste" Goscinny (see Asterix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud) would not be able to deliver the humour, warmth, and innocent worldview of its written progenitors. My fears were unfounded. The idiosyncrasies of the main characters from the books are faithfully reproduced for the silver screen. The film amalgamates several of the short stories and stays true to the gentle pace from the books. It's visually strong and also benefits from the commitment--sans being too hammed-up--of the actors to portraying the foibles, triumphs, and misadventures of a group of young boys and their well-meaning parents. A delight in its own right, but also an homage worthy of the original author.

Just as the books, le Petit Nicolas is the view of the adult word from a little boy's point of view and it is very funny. A movie the whole family will enjoy.

Warm, Funny, French, Family, Comedy.
This is a cracking little French comedy made in 2009. It stars Maxim Godart as the little Nicolas and he is a talent to watch out for and has already made another two films. Read more

le Petit Nicolas - DVD
It was a great story and my whole family loved it. I would recommend anyone of any age to watch it. My kids still talk about it and have gone back and seen it many times over.

the best movie to show your students
I've shown this movie to my FSL students and even the ones that hate French, loved this movie. A movie you can watch over and over again. I highly recommend it.

Le petit divertissement
A fun take on the lovely French book series about the young Parisian schoolboy Nicolas. Not a laugh a minute, nonetheless mildly amusing throughout. Read more
