One of the attractions of February 2022 is the first original French creation on Disney +, Week-end Family. This family comedy is directed by Pierre-François Martin-Laval and Sophie Reine. It stars Eric Judor in a new role for him, an osteopath father of 3 daughters. Eric Judor plays Fred, the hero of Weekend Family. He had 3 daughters with three different wives. Her weekends are hectic between Clara 15 years old, Victoire 12 years old and Romy 9 years old. 2 young girls and a teenager with distinct personalities. And when he begins to associate with Emmanuelle, a Québéquoise who is finishing her psychology thesis, his daily life will be even more complicated. This family comedy consists of 8 episodes of 26 minutes. It is produced by Elephant. A production that has been very successful like Fais pas ci, fais pas ça. During the series' online press conference, the film crew revealed several behind-the-scenes details. They had to adapt to shortened days due to the constant presence of children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brRQbVje1lk
Eric Judor as a father in Week-end Family
What a pleasure to see Eric Judor out of his comfort zone. An appreciable risk-taking for one of the best French comedy actors. He said it himself that it was a challenge, an opportunity to renew himself. We feel during the first episode a beautiful chemistry between the father and his three daughters. This is the main interest of this comedy, the almost natural bond between the members of this blended family. We clearly live the daily life of Fred and his daughters who live weekends of the most hectic. Emmanuelle's arrival is a rather well-brought comic spring, and the girls' interactions with their father are ingenious. We smile several times, and it feels good to have fun in front of a French comedy. We can't wait to discover the other 7 episodes of Weekend Family.
