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

    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.

    A nice diversion that takes an overly circuitous but usually amusing route to a predictable conclusion. Not as tidy as the better French farces, but until American cinema comes up with something to match we'll settle for this!

    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.

    More a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society.
  2. The prolific Patrice Leconte takes a break from mythic, life-and-death scenarios with My Best Friend, a sitcom that threatens to take a rockier emotional path before swerving back into the comfy zone. It's better when it's threatening, but Leconte knows his audience.
  3. 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."
