About Fonzy
On the streets of Paris, Diego works hard delivering fish, juggling late shifts and a decent paycheck. His routine is upended when a long buried decision about his past surfaces in the form of a sperm donation. A web of paperwork, witnesses, and misunderstandings pulls him into a courtroom drama that feels both chaotic and comic. The case forces him to face questions about fatherhood, responsibility, and what it means to be a man who wants to do right by a child he might not be prepared to meet. The film uses fast dialogue, pratfalls, and social satire to lampoon bureaucratic red tape while keeping the focus on Diego's reluctance and stubborn grit. Parisian life provides a vivid backdrop throughout.
Directed by Isabelle Doval, Fonzy arrived in 2013 as a French comedy built from an original script credited to Martin Petit, José Garcia and Ken Scott. The film foregrounds Diego and his circle, with Garcia delivering a lively central performance.
Box office data for Fonzy is not included in the available information. The film opened in French theaters and earned modest domestic revenue, with international performance varying by country, and no widely reported figures currently accessible from reliable trade sources.
There are no major awards listed for Fonzy in the provided data; the film is positioned as a light comedy rather than a prestige project. Critics highlighted the punchlines and performances while noting a brisk, urban vibe that fits a contemporary Paris setting. Garcia's energy keeps the tone sunny throughout.
Reception centers on a breezy, fast moving energy that leans on the humor of a man caught between work and unexpected paternity. The film treats fatherhood with warmth, while skewering paperwork and social expectations in a city that loves to tease itself. Its tone stays light even when stakes rise.
