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

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.
As the character gains confidence, Garcia tones down the tics and actually makes Louis likable.
From the beginning I found the plot contrivances more than a little forced, and the behavior of the various characters improbably extreme.
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.
Apres Vous ... is less peculiar but considerably more contrived, more forced than Girl on the Bridge.
Unfolds with the light and civilized touch that Americans associate with French farce, but it's as contrived as any Hollywood comedy.
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.
Super Reviewer
(June 2005 director Pierre Salvadori) Saw this movie as a treat--read NO reviews on it! Apres Vous means "After You!" French movie w/ English subtitles! MUCH FUNNIER THAN PINK PANTHER FOR EXAMPLE!! (Garcon) Antoine stumbles upon a man as he is hanging himself (Louis) Attempts to free him from his demons....over a lost love! Great restaurant scenes! Surprising lots of laughs! Good acting!! IN SPOKEN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES To tell you much more would be to give away the plot...much time is spent in this film in a florist shop!! LOL
