"Sitcom" deals with an interesting story of a dysfunctional family. It veers from fantasy to reality.The family of "Sitcom" is tolerant-in this family, you have to be. The mother discovers a unique way of trying to treat her sons' attraction to men, and the daughter tries to branch out. Won't get any more detailed. It does show a brother and sister being very close, bathing together and talking about sex (but not doing it). There are disfuntional families like this, that's the not so funny part.If "Sitcom" was about a normal family, nobody would watch it. Shakespeare only wrote about disfuntional families. On the other hand, what is a normal family?

"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!!!

Has anyone ever noticed that practically ALL movies on IMDB get rated either 6 or 7 out of 10? Anyway, "Sitcom" is a pitch black anarchist comedy, and I am glad that it has been received quite positively on IMDB. Having said that, it is also not the most accomplished of movies -- the trailer is excellent, the film itself falls off a bit. The directing, plot and camerawork were all a bit unaccomplished (I would have expected better of a director who has already done 13 movies), and some of the acting was a bit rough ... however, I must express my respect for the actress playing the mother part, she is excellent and it must have taken her quite a bit of courage to take on that role.

This is an odd film about a father who brings a pet rat home to his family, which then sparks off their innermost sexual desires. The son announces he's gay, and ends up with a maid's boyfriend; the daughter jumps out of the window and is paralysed, and then gets her boyfriend to hurt her while she puts cigarettes out on her arm. The wife starts to sleep with the gay son. The daughter asks her father to have sex with her, but he declines, saying she's ugly. The ending is really surreal. Wacky, satirical, perverse & crazy. See it if you can.
