First off I should have paid more attention to the fact this is in French with English subtitles. Anyway, it's pretty good but falls down a little in the last act.

Never saw Mr. Deeds, but this movie reminded me of the Truman Show. Only this one had sub-titles and not as good as it.

loved this frenzch twist on reality tv & national polling madness - highly recommended & i wouldn't be surprised if usa remakes this as they have remade so many french plots. odd that someone likened it to mr deeds which was a remake of capra. this plot is completely unique, although reminded me of the 'the model couple' a much earlier french (pre) reality tv movie.
