Nothing to Declare

About This Movie

Nothing to Declare is this quirky Belgian comedy set against the backdrop of the 90s border shift. The whole premise is about a Belgian customs officer who has to work alongside his French counterpart, which leads to some pretty entertaining culture clashes. The humor is light but clever, with a tone that balances absurdity and sincerity. The pacing feels a bit off in parts, but it adds to the charm, I guess. The performances are solid; you can tell the actors are having fun with their roles. It's interesting how they play with the themes of nationalism and identity without getting too heavy-handed. And there's some nice practical effects in the border scenes that ground it all nicely.
