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.

Although 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.

Audience Reviews for Après vous (After You)

Après vous is entertaining enough but is mainly carried by it's two main leads, Daniel Auteuil and José Garcia. I felt it started better than it ended though, as it lost pace and energy towards the end and I can't say I was a fan of the conclusion. However, it was quite funny and farcical and you can't beat a good French farce. It is possible the one time I'll say this but maybe an American remake wouldn't be such a bad thing!

Quirky. Cute. Well done..but as an admirer of French films, and particularly those starring Daniel Auteuil, I found Apres Vous to be a bit of a disappointment. The film has funny moments, but not hilarious moments. The premise of the story seemed ripe for both non-stop laughs and great character development--neither is really accomplished. Not a bad movie at all, just left me a little unsatisfied by the end.
