La Soupe aux Choux – Cabbage Soup

This is one of those movies you can’t watch alone, or it simply wouldn’t be as funny. “La Soupe Aux Choux”, Cabbage Soup, is a French movie produced in 1981 and it is the story of two old farmers that live happily and enjoy every minute that is left to them.

Imagine your two grandparents sitting on their decks, not thinking about tomorrow, but drinking booze with a side of laughter and loud farting! And let’s not forget about the everlasting bowl of cabbage soup!

You might just have to watch it because it gets even better. Not only are they drinking and farting, but an alien enters their everyday lives communicating with annoying beeping sounds. Can grandparents get any funnier? Will you be able to sit still and not spill your boiling cabbage soup?
