Robert Putifar has never had it easy. As a middle school teacher, he was teased by students during his entire career. After thirty-seven years of this, still living with his mother, a bitter Putifar finally retires and leaves it all behind. Or does he? Deep in his secret mancave, the former teacher plots revenge on the first kids who made his life hell twenty years ago, the ones who destroyed his one chance at love.
His targets are nasty little Anthony, now a famous chef; evil twins Camille and Melanie, who have become popular Instagram influencers; and international pop star Audrey, who used to torment the teacher with her abominable “voice of an angel”. Putifar’s revenge plan is going well, until his old mother discovers it… and makes it even better! As a team, this unlikely duo, will turn out to be extremely efficient!
- Christian Clavier plays fantastically well his boosted bitterness and the duet he forms with his mother (Isabelle Nanty) is cruel and tasty (Télé 2 semaines)
- The first part of this cartoon comedy is jubilant. […] Too bad that in the end the wickedness is tinged with morality and that the acid is diluted in rose water (Télé-Loisirs)
- Pierre François Martin-Laval (therefore) tackles with great humor the overload of teachers work in general, and that of Robert in particular (…). Provoking a delicious moral malaise, Mr. Putifar’s Wacky Plan is therefore a good comedy to the delight of young and old audiences, and cleverly inviting to reflection (Cine Serie)
