  • Starring: Daniel Auteuil, Dany Boon, Julie Gayet
  • Summary: Francois is a middled-aged antique dealer. He has a stylish apartment and fabulous life, but at a dinner with a group he considers his dearest acquaintances, he is blindsided by the revelation that none of them actually likes him. He's arrogant, self-centered and harsh, and they don't believe he knows the meaning of friendship. His business partner Catherine makes him a bet: if he can produce his best friend, she will let him keep the massive Greek vase he acquired that afternoon on the company tab. If not, it's hers.

    More a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society.

    Not a bad film and veteran star Daniel Auteuil makes any film he inhabits an interesting place to visit. Perversely, its tissue-thin substance may even make the comedy more commercial in North America than such films of his as "Monsieur Hire" and "Ridicule."

    If sex, gangsters, and killing Nazis are three of the most enlivening topics in the movies, then let us count friendship as one of the most tiresome, right up there with grooming horses and sharing for sheer thrills.

    Sweet and funny film about friendship. Only the French seem to be able to get a film like this right.

    Let's not have parade or anything for this one, but it is sweet and entertaining. Barely rates a "7" in my book, but deserves it just the same.

    The acting is fine. It seems fine for a while, but ends up being about as bad as an American made for tv movie. Very poor screenplay.
