Chad S. gave it an8:
Such winning performances by everybody in the principal cast ably compensates for a screenplay that would be exposed as perfunctory with lesser actors. At long last, I got to see Emmanuelle Beart on a big screen, albeit in a minor movie. But what a charming minor movie this is. "La Buche" has a lot of vitality, mostly the comic sort but there are some poignant moments too. Too bad things get so episodic towards the end.
