Un Profil pour deux

A bit of an uneven ride, "Un profil pour deux" works mainly as a comedy. That's because the story feels extremely contrived - you don't mind that for a comedy, but anything more serious falls flat if you can't believe in the story or the characters. As to those characters, they're played mostly for laughs, too, except the three leads who have to carry the romance and drama. While Pierre Richard and Fanny Valette are excellent, Yaniss Lespert seems miscast, he's the weakest part of the trio. While those shortcomings keep it from being an A movie for me, "Un profil pour deux" is still a quick-footed and somewhat cute comedy with some bite to it, too - you won't be bored and you will snicker and smile.

Jokes are repeated and overused and some "jokes" made laugh just a couple of people out of the entire auditorium. Unless you are pretty old like the grandpa there are 0 funny jokes. Fortunately there a story to follow and that makes up at least for the lack of original jokes in the movie.

I love this movie. With an excellent script, nothing heavy and with a very agile rhythm. Very good actors (all of them). I find it very luminous, it is never boring. And I've laughed a lot. I came out with very good taste of the cinema. I really recommend this movie. French Cinema is really good, and this film is a good proof.

I just watched the movie. It has a moderate pace. The plot unfolds in due time. No doubt, his purpose as a comedy is well achieved, because he could make me laugh enough. The photograph set in the Parisian streets is well achieved. The ambient décor of Monsieur Pierre's apartment permeates the film with an atmosphere of nostalgia, denoting the state of widowhood of Pierre, who progressively becomes a stage with more life, after he starts using the internet. The soundtrack, repetitive and orchestrated with instruments used in the tango, seems to me excellent. I recommend the movie, it's worth seeing.

First, because it is an old fashion love story. second, for its simplicity who use new elements only for the rehabilitation of classic French comedy. not the last, for Pierre Richard in a role who represents target for nostalgia of his admirers. all is seductive in the case of this film. the confusions, the romanticism, the humor, the crumbs from Cyrano de Bergerac, the end, conflicts and the fragile status of poor Alex. so, an invitation to escape in a familiar and comfortable universe.
