Since his childhood, Francois Gautier has been a complete penny pincher.

But all of these certainties are called into question when Francois meets Laura, the daughter he never knew he had. Starting off with a big lie to cover up his true nature, the François is forced to become a better, more generous person...

Two years after playing a hypochondriac in Supercondriaque, Dany Boon returns as a cheapskate in Radin!, this time directed by someone else. The recipe is as clear as the French title suggests: the movie is a comedy aimed at a wide audience, which hides a simplified plot behind a popular, super-hammy actor to better digest a dumb story full of gags with an uninteresting moral. Only for die-hard Dany Boon fans, this impersonal movie is regular fare for unartistic director Fred Cavayé (Anything For Her, The Players, Mea Culpa). Luckily, the excellent Laurence Arné adds a little bit of freshness to this farce that is neither very funny nor very entertaining, instead destined to be immediately forgotten.
