A Vince Vaughn remake of this French/Canadian comedy is already in the works - but just because it’s about an amiable slacker whose past life as a serial sperm donor catches up with him, doesn’t mean it’s a gross-out affair.

Huard’s charm offsets the plots contrivances, while Ken Scott’s finely balanced direction humanises the high concept.
