A skinflint husband decides to be generous to his wife by surprising her with a country house. However, he decides to do things on the cheap and hires a dubious real estate agent and bungling workmen, who soon turns his surprise into a nightmare.

Wealthy publisher Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhermitte), faces his greatest social challenge in this classic French comedy of errors. He is supposed to find a "guest" (who must be an idiot), to bring to a dinner sponsored by his friends,who are wealthy and obnoxious yuppies engaged in a never ending game of oneupmanship. He is sure to win the prize when he invites Francois Pignon (Jacques Villeret), a lowly finance ministry accountant who reproduces famous monuments, with matchsticks. Little does Pierre realise that Francois is a giant among idiots who will have systematically destroyed half his life - quite innocently - before entrees even reach the table...

Back-to-school! For troublemaker Toto, it's the best playground for fooling around. When a sculpture collapses during the opening of a museum, Toto is immediately blamed. To prove his innocence, Toto has no other option but making a pact with Igor, the school nerd. In exchange for his help, Toto will help Igor being cool. The unlikely duo turns into little detectives.
