L'art (délicat) de la séduction

The movie is similar to the audio commentary: it's about two buddies, Berry and Timsit, and their feelings about relationships. Thus you got only a masculine point of view here explaining that the character of Cecile is left unfortunately in shadows in spite of being her first feature!

Even though Timsit has a sympathetic personality, focusing about him is a bit dull and leads to too much sexual worry. I admit that sex is love but love isn't only sex. Finally, Berry as a first time director is better at shooting families reunion.

However, the best moment for me was their big wheel ride in Tuileries Garden because i did it and unlike them, i was terrified and frozen by the vertigo.

Delicious the film! I loved it! Music great of course of Éric Serra of the projects of Luc Besson. In the history, Etienne and Laure play the couple perfect. Richard Berry play still the man with the women. In real life also. Richard Berry is the realizer of the film also. He is Woody Allen in France. Cécile of France is the Audrey Hepburn of the generation mine. The dialog was very droll. Richard Berry writes the scenery of the films too. All of the world watches the film when they laugh. I watch this film since twelve years ago still. Opposite of zen is the avocado Master Zen, Alain Chabat. He still play funny. Christmas is never funny only in this movie.

Fist-time director Richard Berry delivers here a comedy that not only is not funny but also misogynist, as during 90 minutes women are considered as mere sexual objects and not human creatures. Such a subject could have been treated in a light, sparkling way but the dialogues are so vulgar and dumb that one really feels sorry for the actors involved in it. Definitely a bad movie.

It is very difficult for me to understand the aim of this movie : it is not a comedy because it is rarely funny, it is not an intellectual movie because it lacks the depth to be taken at the second degree, and it is not a drama because one can hardly feel sorry for the characters... In addition to that, the characters, the dialogs and the situations are so exaggerated and painfully artificial that it is impossible to adhere to the story... All the male characters have only one thing in mind : women and sex. And all women are merely sexual objects (the main character, the neighbor, the prostitutes, etc. - they even depicted the boss as a lesbian character) whose final role is to be a mother... Ridiculous and misogynous...
