Review of The Château

The Château (2001)
10/10
Finally, someone dares to be different!
15 September 2001
Amazingly, "The Chateau" provides raw humor and entertainment to the very end. Director Jesse Peretz manages to get the best performance EVER out of Paul Rudd (Clueless, Cider House Rules, Romeo & Juliet). Paul Rudd (Graham Granville) and newcomer Romany Malco (Alan 'Rex' Granville) play brothers in a hilarious fish out of water scenario in which they are brought together by an unexpected inheritance of a French Chateau.

"The Chateau" is far from formulaic. Romany Malco's versatility not only provides a good dose of hilarity to the film but his character is both intimidating and sexy at the same time. He is truly a unique talent that deserves to be attached to such a film. Paul Rudd manages to flub the French language in such a way that makes his terrible rendition of the French language painfully funny! This is the best performance I have ever seen from Paul Rudd and I hope to see many more.

I found this film both entertaining and inspiring.
