Camille is shagging her way aroung paris until she meets Alexis, a happily married political activist. She falls in love with him, and decides to wait for him to fall in love with her. Typically french, but the whole story just seemed a little too unrealistic for me

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Good French drama about relationships, the lead character is often dislikeable, but it seems to make the film more endearing

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Genial, a mourir de rire et tellement vrai ! Karin Viard est absolument hilarante dans ce film, qui retrace l'histoire des "Eve" d'aujourd'hui : gaffeuse, charmante, tete a claque ! Un veritable film de chevet pour les trentenaires en mal d'amour et bien plus subtil dans sa critique que Bridget Jones !

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
