Line of Events

Read all. This movie was extremely simple-minded and vulgar, which made it seem like an American comedy. I can see an American remake in the future.

This was quite a refreshing change for a French comedy, although it’s not my preferred type. French comedies generally start out funny and suddenly become deadly serious before the end. No one has a hidden aspect — Benoît remains clumsy and cowardly from beginning to end.

The fake fiancée has no social graces from beginning to end. Only the parents are the same standard rich and confused couple you see in most French comedies. They were the least interesting because their arc is completely predictable in such films.
Its future will be as a standard Sunday night movie on French television
Still, I’m glad I have an unlimited movie pass because cinema ticket prices have become so high that I wouldn’t be happy spending much money on this.
