    Confusion is appropriate as a title. This man had it all, of both genders, and yet he couldn't settle on one or the other. Both seemed ready to deal with his problem. But when it comes to making a movie you need a plot and a conclusion. This mostly lacked them both.

    What can I say? It's a French movie. There's a lot of introspection. A lot of dialog like: "I hate the suburbs." "Then move." "I can't. Well, I can... but then I would have nothing to hate." If you like French movies -- and they are a class by themselves -- then this one is a good one. If you want something besides people staring into space saying, "I hate my life" then you probably won't like this movie.

    Bad acting and weak story line. Totally unbelievable and waste of time. I would not recommend this movie.
