Ooh La La 2

The DNA tests that set two very different families at each other's throats are finally behind them. The aristocratic Bouvier Sauvages and the far humbler Martins have made their peace with the results, and they're now busy planning the wedding of Alice and François. Frédéric, a wine merchant of the very old school, and Gérard, who runs a car dealership, can even sit at the same table without a row.

It doesn't last. Thanks to those same tests, a cousin of Frédéric's that nobody knew about turns up, and his arrival proves that the first results were wrong. With the big day looming, both clans start digging through their family trees again, and their ancestors still have a few surprises in store.

'Ooh La La 2' is the sequel to 'Cocorico', the comedy that drew almost two million admissions in France in 2024 and was the first film to pair Christian Clavier and Didier Bourdon on the big screen. Julien Hervé is back as writer and director.

Clavier plays Frédéric again, along with a second role as Mehmet, the charming Turkish cousin who's a good deal richer than he is. Bourdon returns as Gérard, with Sylvie Testud and Marianne Denicourt as the wives and Chloé Coulloud and Julien Pestel as the couple. It was shot in June and July 2025, and the crew went back to the Château de Montaigne in the Dordogne, which the first film had also used.

It opened in France on 8 April 2026 in second place, behind only 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', but it ended its run on around 660,000 admissions, roughly a third of the original's. French critics were split: some found it funnier and better paced than the first, while others called it lazy and tired.
