Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Sitcom is the story of a bourgeois French family whose life is seriously affected when the father (François Marthouret)brings home a new pet: a white lab rat. This animal will prove having an almost hypnotic influence over the family members, causing each of them to release their darkest sides at the slightest physical contact with it. The first to fall is the son (Adrien de Van), who admits himself homosexual at a family dinner. He will be followed short after that by the maid's husband, Abdu (Jules-Emmanuel Eyoum Deido) Then, it's the turn of the daughter (Sophie, played by Marina de Van): she tries to kill herself but fails and becomes paraplegic. From that on, she will subject his loving boyfriend (Stéphane Rideau)to sadomasochistic practices, taking advantage of his devotion to humiliate him. When the mother (Evelyne Dandry) can't stand her world falling apart, she finally overcomes her fear towards the rat and falls under its spell, causing a desperate attempt to "cure" her son from homosexuality. Having said all this, where is the father? Well, let's say he's guilty from bringing the rat to the house. There's a connection between both, rodent and family chief, two sides of the same problem... one the metaphor of the other, perhaps. From rather absurd premises, director and writer François Ozon creates a short, overwhelming comedy —which might not be that subtle but doesn't intend to be either— about family miseries, undressed by the detonating presence of a little, white excuse.

"Sitcom" tells the story about a petty bourgeois French family who leads a surface normal life. One day father brings white rat from a research institute to his home and from this day things changes radical, because everyone who has physical contact with this animal becomes totally freaked out..! The son outs himself as a homo, the daughter does S&M-practices and becomes endangered for suicide, the mother starts having a sex affair with her own son...You have to see this great satire with your own eyes to believe it when human soulish depths turn up! Cynical, provoking and grotesque - more words are not needed to describe it!! A great farce!!!

I think all the others viewers notes tells us about the story and the feelings that this movie gives to us. I sure like it! This movie takes risk, and that's the kind of stuff I love about movies. The best of the genre always comes from Europe, never in Hollywood. Sitcom should be to the 1990's what Hitchcock's What about Harry was in the 1950's. See this strange little piece of good cinema!

Twisted, perverted, incredibly disturbing and sometimes funny. In other words, the total opposite of the squeaky-clean TV shows the title of the movie has.The content of the movie is plain sick. Compared to it, Jerry Springer looks like a sitcom.The story is about a family that adopts a rat as a pet and all of a sudden becomes the iconization of the word "dysfunctional". If there's a hidden meaning, I wasn't trying to look for it and I never found it. It is a blast to watch if you can stomach it, otherwise run from this title like it was the plague.
