Audience Member the overacting over nothin' pulse the overt sexual overtones (including extramarital and incestuous!) kill it for me. love how Beart looks but that's all. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Energetic farce that refuses to sit still, like a dimwitted puppy chasing a darting flashlight beam. Ever-radiant Emmanuelle Béart delights once again in a comic role as successful singer Lucette who can't control her sexual urges when around her favorite fornicator Edouard, who has neglected to tell her that he is getting married imminently. Sparks and tempers fly across a script littered with clever wordplay, and admittedly I only caught a fraction of them since I saw it all in French <i>sans sous-titres.</i> Even with that handicap, there's no missing translation for the outrageous laugh-out-loud sex scenes, or Edouard (Charles Berling) running around his apartment and corridor stark naked for a good five minutes trying to salvage his situation as well as his dignity. Very adult, very French, and very funny. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Good acting in general but too old school, too theatrical. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Clothes were stylish. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly funny! Liked the way they mixed some modern stuff into it. Tells a story that was typical in those days, and actually, still is. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Seen 12.04.07. This French movie is absolutely recommendable, but it is very special. Saw it again 30.11.07. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
