DE PERE EN FLIC (2009)

Stills

Jacques (Côté) and Marc (Houde) are father and son cops

who don’t exactly get along, but when a fellow officer is

kidnapped by a biker gang, they’re forced to partner up

in order to save his life.

The pair infiltrates an outdoor camp for fathers and

sons, in order to snag Charles Berube (Girard), the bike

gang’s lawyer. As Jacques and Marc try to discover

their missing colleague’s location, they find the camp’s

bonding activities are having an emotional and hilarious

impact on their own relationship.

De Pere en Flic won the Golden Reel Award as the

highest grossing Canadian film of the past year at the

2010 Genie Awards.

“A can’t-miss buddy comedy about a pair of dysfunctional

father-son cops who are forced to go undercover at a

touchy-feely bonding retreat … a genuinely amusing

hybrid” — Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

Émile Gaudreault developed his comedy craft

onstage with the Québécois troupe La Groupe

Sanguin. He began writing television shows in

Quebec, and eventually co-wrote Louis 19th,

King of the Airwaves (1994); five years later,

it was adapted by Ron Howard into the movie

EDtv. His film Mambo Italiano was nominated

for six Canadian Comedy Awards. More

recently, Gaudreault directed De père en flic,

Surviving My Mother and the upcoming Le Sens

de l’Humour.
