Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Weaves a simple premise into comedy gold.
– Lisa Nesselson,
Variety,
14 Jan 2008
fresh:
Despite the stagey set-up (it was originally conceived as a play and it shows), the film manages to maintain its humor and energy until the final scene in which Veber suddenly casts aside his delightful meanspiritedness and gets soft-hearted and preachy.
– Andrea C. Basora,

14 Jan 2008
fresh:

– Lisa Alspector,
