What they share

Both films are directed by Philippe de Chauveron, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Serial (Bad) Weddings, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What With Open Arms is

A Parisian novelist discovers the hard way that virtue-signaling has a footnote buried under the sofa. His televised vow to house the needy is hastily executed when Roma refugees answer the doorbell that same night. The next four days teach him that charity has a pet policy, and it’s called “no.”
