His nephew grows up in a house where everything is fully automated and the boy is raised in a similar fashion . To take away the influence of the uncle on his son , his brotherinlaw gets Hulot a job in his factory . IMDbCritical reception Bosley Crowther said the film had a cast of colorful and adroit supporting players , all nonprofessionals and a gay but somewhat monotonous musical score he called the film perceptibly contrived when it lingers too long and gets too deeply into the dullness of things mechanical . After you ' ve pushed one button and one modernistic face , you ' ve pushed them all . Mr . Hulot as played by Tati is the focus of amusement , not electrical doors and machines that squeeze out plastic hose . Crowther noted that its style of humor was done superbly more than twentyfive years ago by Ren Clair in Nous la Libert and afterward by Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times . Variety said that although it was somewhat long for a comedy , Jacques Tati ' s film has inventiveness , gags , warmth and a ' poetic ' approach to satire they complimented the film ' s expert blocking out of the characters , creative use of sound , and eschewing of all useless dialog .
