Reception
The film was not well received by critics. In addition, only a few of them gave it a review.[1] For La Voix du Nord, the film was described as "too lazy".[2] Le Journal du Dimanche stated that "Melha Bedia confirms her comic talent in that social fable who, by performing expressions that are too cartoonish, wants to remind the mission of the school. We are less convinced by the gesticulations of Audrey Fleurot, as annoying as absurd in the role of a horrible clone of Cruella".[3]
For Télérama, the performance of Melha Bedia is "fair", but that is not enough to compensate a "generalized caricature, rancid jokes and good feelings in spades, a film that rather gives the envy to skip the classes".[4] Le Parisien sumps up its review in only a few words as "a comedy as unlikely as annoying".[5]

For its first day of broadcast in France, the film made 36,440 entries (including 10,269 in preview) for 477 copies. The film is overtaken in the ranking of other new films by One Piece Film: Red (267,631 entries) and followed by Nope (36,205 entries).[6]
