Summary: a good french time
Review: As many know the french are very libral so there are many scenes in this movie that I enjoy because they would never be in any non-rated nc-17 movie from america. I also thought the idea of a cute little rat that corupts a family is great. i wont give away the ending it is too clasicly cheezy. Its not the best movie but you'll keep whatching to see who turns homosexual next or to see what the rat makes the family members do.

Summary: American Beauty Before America
Review: Did you think "American Beauty" was a fantastic movie? Tell me why. This film goes incredibly far beyond the aforementioned film. It has the same message, which is not really new to begin with. But "Sitcom" definitely does it much more artistically (what exactly does the rat signify?), and much more intelligently. See the movie, you will agree.

Summary: An undoubtedly disturbing, but clever movie
Review: Digusting and disturbing are probably the words that come out from you after you have watched the movie. Yet, it does not mean that it is bad. Sitcom is a very clever movie indeed. This movie's humour lies on who should exist, the sexually 'normal'? or the sexually 'indecent'? The climax of the paterfamilias killing the whole family is followed by the anti-climax of the family killing the indifferent father figure. Are they killing the rat or their father? We should think about it. The dialogues and plot are entertaining, but at the same time, also pathetic as they reveal the deep isolation among members in a dysfunctional middle-class family.

Summary: Click no if you disagree
Review: Gross. This movie is one of those gross movies that people will hate or love.Me? I didn't love or hate it. I'm used to dysfunction. Everyone in the 20th century is. The story is, as one reviewer put it, a twist on "The Metamorphysis". It's bizarre, fun, morbid. It's actually quite simple. THis movie isn't for everyone.

Summary: In need of psychological help! I actually liked this film.
Review: Help! I am in serious need of psychological help. I actually enjoyed and liked this movie. This movie is very bizarre and plain downright wierd! I still don't see the logic or reason to the plot of this film. It is going to take further viewing for me to understand the concept of this film, if there is one?
It seems that the film revolves around the disfunctional force of a family that is torn apart after the arrival of a pet rat. There seems to be some morbid force in the rat that transcends into the atmosphere of the house that sends the helpless inhabitants into a sexual frenzy of bizarre events, incest, homosexuality, suicide, and pure sexual fetish escapade.
The entire film is filled with sexual imagery and sometimes crude scenes between the characters. The film is worthwhile just for the sheer entertainment of what is going to happen next among the characters. The plot as mentioned is twisted and sick, but that is what makes it so interesting. It is definitely a very unconventional film plot. You usally don't see plots like this in film, at least I never have.
I enjoyed the entire film for its bizarre and sexual content. I particularly ejoyed the scene in which sexy actor Stephane Rideau is dressed in fetish gear and the exposing of his genitals at full lift, if you know what I mean? It is actually because of Stephane Rideau that I saw this film because I enjoyed his performances in films like "Come Undone", and "Wild Reeds". Over all, the entire cast deserves credit for good performances in such an unusual and ludicrous film. "Sitcom" deserves a "10" for creativity.

Summary: How do you spell parody?
Review: I am amazed at many of the reviews here that take this film so seriously. The title itself should give away the intention to make a film that parodies sitcoms and soap operas.
In my view, it is not only successful at doing that, but plays with audience perceptions and biases in a very clever way and misleads us brilliantly. It is all in good fun and you should enjoy it too if you don't take it too seriously.
Ozon is probably the most original French director working today and it is well worth the time spent to see his other films. He is not that well known in France and this movie shocked some French friends that I watched it with, so question your own prejudices a bit and have fun with this.

Review: Insanely intense French flick with no inhibitions. Do yourself a favour and rent it. If not for a good movie then for the sheer absurdity of the whole thing.

Summary: American Beauty Before America
Review: So you think "American Beauty" was a great film with a good message, huh? Well listen up my friends, that movie comes nowhere near this French film which was released quite a bit before. Same message (which you probably thought as new) applies here. Normal suburban family goes a little crazy in what is supposed to be a fantastic setting for them. Normal society is wrong for them, as it is for most, and the insanity starts to appear. Art in "American Beauty", hah! Art in "Sitcom", definitely. Although, what does the rat symbolize exactly? That is the main question.
