Why do the French like Jerry Lewis so much? Ever wonder why Hollywood remakes so many French comedies? What do Adam Sandler, Steve Carell, and Eddie Murphy owe to the French? Delve into the comedic and humor techniques used in French cinema throughout the years and come prepared to laugh.

A light reception will follow.
