French Fried Vacation (Les Bronzés) is a trilogy of cult French comedy films directed by Patrice Leconte and starring the French troupe Le Splendid.
Holidaymakers arriving in a Club Med camp on the Ivory Coast are determined to forget their everyday problems and emotional disappointments. Games, competitions, outings, bathing and sunburn accompany a continual succession of casual affairs.
In this sequel to Les Bronzes (1978) summer has passed, but that doesn't mean the fun has to end for Bernard, Nathalie, Gigi, Jerome, Popeye, Jean-Claude, and Christiane.
After the Club Med and skiing, what happened to the Bronzés 27 years later? Early response: the same, and worse.
