A philanderer (Philippe Chevallier) asks a man (Régis Laspalès) to pose as his wife to save his marriage and his apartment.

Stephen Holden

New York Times

Slap an ill-fitting dress on an ugly man and you have instant guffaws. That surefire vaudeville tactic guarantees this chaotic French farce a fair share of laughs.

Rated: 3/5

Village Voice

Aside from Laspals's enlivening physical humor, Poir's forced, formulaic comedy of errors has little to offer.

Plods along in slow motion when the action should be zippy and fun.

This was as if those stageplay-piece being direct transplanted to film. Rather raw & old-school form of European comedy.

Un nanar: on ne rit pas avec le film, mais du film. ScÃ©nario bidon tout droit sorti d'un thÃ©atre de boulevard. Des acteurs nulls Ã chier, mais une rÃ©plique culte:" Bewaare, bewaaaaaaaaaaaaaare la mouche". Des plans outranciers oÃ¹ on voit les poils de nez de Laspales.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

J'ai vu ce film en franÃ§ais. Il y a des longueurs et c'est trop. Devrrait-Ãªtre moins long et plus drÃ´le

I'm not into French films but this one was certainly worth it. Not as gay as I thought it would be but very very entertaining!
