Cote d'Azur (***)

This is a frivolous French sex comedy about a family whose summer holiday reveals some sexual secrets. The family's staying at a seaside villa for the summer. The daughter’s gone off with her boyfriend, while the teenage son’s having his best friend over. Mom and Dad speculate about exactly what kind of friend this boy is, and what, if anything to say. Meanwhile they've got lusty secrets of their own. Comical twists follow. There’s even, apropos of nothing, a couple of kooky musical numbers featuring most of the cast. Worth watching to see a light approach to sexuality (and nudity) that's pretty rare in American cinema.
