In what universe would a reasonable mother entrust a virtual stranger with her infant while she's in the hospital?

Los Angeles Times

It's a goofy, episodic trifle designed to induce swoons among the saccharine who coo every time they see a cute guy, or a baby, or a cute guy holding a baby while watching YouTube videos about how to change a diaper.

Rated: 2/5

Variety

Cute to the point of blandness, tyro French helmer Clement Michel's vaguely amiable laffer scrupulously avoids all ambiguity, innovation or flashes of wit.

Combining the usual base hetero rom-com ingredients together, Michel never gets beyond simple sugar.

A lousy, middle-brow situational comedy with ... almost no laughs.

Unsophisticated, but would be fine if it either committed to an even more mannered, farcical tone or had more convincingly sketched, fully dimensional characters. It does neither.

Moi j'ai beaucoup aimé cette comédie romantique, pour un premier film c'est très réussi, dommage que ce ne soit pas dans l'air du temps des critiques

It is hard not to fall in love with Raphaël Personnaz and Charlotte Le Bon, who are so charismatic and have such a great chemistry together in this decent French comedy that may be predictable and full of clichés but has its moments and is funny enough to make it worth it.

It's all about suspension of disbelief, innit. I had quite a good time watching this movie and it's genuinely cute and endearing.

Rom Com nulle, pas ecrite et pas mise en scene. Ras le bol de voir ce genre de films pas fini et inutile arriver sur nos ecrans. Je n'ai rien contre Charlotte le Bon ou Raphael Personnaz, je suis meme assez client de Jerome Commandeur, qui emporte encore le morceau ici dans un second role ultra classique dans ce genre films, mais le film est totalement stupide et sans charme.
