Aimless, middle-aged bachelor Robert (André Dussollier) is jarred by the fact that his ex-lover Claire (Emmanuelle Devos) has just had a baby that, according to her, isn't his. Distraught and still smitten with his old flame, Robert runs into the quirky Aie (Hélène Fillières), a waitress who aspires to be an actress and model, and quickly strikes up a relationship with her. However, she's a little weirder than he originally thought -- in fact, she claims she's not even from this planet.

Jonathan Foreman New York Post The drollery isn't all that funny. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 26, 2001 Full Review A.O. Scott New York Times 'Ouch!' is also what you might exclaim as you pinch yourself to stay awake through the film's slow, labored contrivances. Rated: 1/5 Oct 25, 2001 Full Review Ed Park Village Voice The truly painful Ouch! underestimates viewer agony considerably. Oct 23, 2001 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2005 Full Review Kurt Dahlke Apollo Guide Rated: 80/100 Mar 16, 2004 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide To say that this willfully eccentric, thoroughly distasteful French romantic comedy defies categorization doesn't mean it's in any way original, just that it's neither romantic nor particularly funny.
