Invasion of the French boyfriends

This is a bright, witty, funny and poignant portrayal of the adventures of young French students coming to England to brush up their English, all against a backdrop of (mainly) Ramsgate in the mid-1970s.So why only a 6? Because right at the start of the film we are told this is set in 1959, not 1975.But indeed we do see them coming on the Sealink ferry, a company whose operations only began in 1970. And the historical inaccuracies don't so much come thick and fast - it's more that the entire film is plainly set in the mid-1970s - clothes, cars, advertisements, decor, you name it.Yes, there are Teddy boys, and there's great early scene with a group of what must be genuine Teds. But these are 70s Teds - not those from 1959. Here we see older Teds, who effectively didn't exist in the 1950s.Nevertheless, the Teds stuff is great, and could just as easily have been set in the 1970s as there was a Teddy boy revival around this time.You can say this shouldn't spoil the film, but the disregard for it being accurate is so blatant. And would you be okay with someone using a smartphone in a film supposedly set in 1999?For all this it's a good watch. Just pretend it really is set in the 1970s.

Not to be taken seriously, light-hearted entertainment.

Having seen this film several times and enjoyed it, I would say it has relevance if you have been on a linguistic holiday or met people that have done just that. Filmed for the most part in Ramsgate, Kent, United Kingdom with a mixture of young French and British actors / actresses, the film deals with the trials and tribulations of young French kids going to the UK for a linguistic holiday. Whereas "L'Auberge Espagnole" ( which dealt with the same theme ) has mature adolescents as the main characters, this film is about real kiddies and is much cuter than " Auberge ". Also it was made many years previously so there are no lewd passages or bad language. This makes it more of a pleasure to watch. The atmosphere of the UK at the time is well rendered and many young French schoolchildren will be able to identify with their compatriots in the film. It appears the film was VERY successful in France in 1976 when it came out.The title of the film is rather misleading, as our young friends have little success chatting up English girls and end up with other French girls ! But the original intention was to chat up the young Brits ( and thereby to presumably improve their standard of spoken English ).As often happens during these kind of linguistic holidays, the kids tend to regroup with others from their own country, thereby reducing the need to speak a foreign language ! That of course is contrary to the aim of such a holiday but it is a hard fact !! The music used, notably that of Mort(imer) Schuman is very good and a whold generation of young French people know the film and remember it through this music.As an Englishman living in France, I find all that rather amusing and making for good light entertainment. I haven't the foggiest idea whether the film is known in the UK but, as someone knowing what makes the British laugh, I would not see it as having much success on that side of the Channel ! Though it may bring back pleasant ( or perhaps less pleasant ) memories for British families who have welcomed foreign kids for summer courses. I have seen very few comments on imdb for the film so presume it is not too well known outside France !
