this dvd was even better than i expected & i suspect i'll end up buying it. the plot twists, humour/satire & emotional impact were very enjoyable. i strongly recommend this film - it deals with these issues in a liter & more realistic way than any comparable domestic movie.

This is a very enjoyable little French film. It has the subtlety and complexity of a foreign comedy without stooping to moronic pranks. The final comedic twist is a bit "Hollywood," but that doesn't take away from the big picture. For a comedy with taste, this is the way to go.
