This farcical French comedy of errors is well-acted, but the absurdities feel too forced to make such a light confection work.

Movie Info
Antoine (Daniel Auteuil of The Closet), the busy manager of a fancy restaurant, cuts through a park in his rush to meet his frustrated girlfriend, Christine (Marilyne Canto), when he stumbles across Louis (José Garcia) attempting to hang himself. Antoine foils his efforts and takes the intensely phobic, despondent klutz home, much to Christine's chagrin. Lovesick Louis recalls that he's sent his "suicide note" to his elderly grandparents, so Antoine goes with him to intercept the letter. Antoine

A light, entertaining comedy with little, if any, redeeming value, other than a few good laughs.
Top CriticAlthough the ingredients are excellent, the result is an overcooked comedy more often provoking indigestion than laughter.
A lightweight farce that remains enjoyable primarily for the time spent with Auteuil.
French fluff at its creepiest: illogical, exasperating, overlong and based on characters who are just as empty as the creatures who inhabit Hollywood fluff.
Salvadori and his fellow screenwriters invent clever complications to keep us amused.
This dumb romantic comedy is not in the same class with Jean Renoir's masterful Boudu Saved From Drowning, though it toys with the same plot line.
Auteuil... finds himself in Antoine's situation, helping out a hapless wreck and being dragged down in the process.
The movie doesn't ask you to laugh at somebody's unhappiness, just the incredibly absurd situations that arise when misery has two goofballs for company.
