Caught by tabloid paparazzi with his mistress Elena, a famous and beautiful fashion model, billionaire Pierre Levasseur tries to avoid a divorce by inventing a preposterous lie. He uses the presence of a passerby in the photo to claim to his wife that it's not him Elena is seeing but the other man, one François Pignon. Pignon is a modest little man who works as a parking valet. To make the story convincing, Elena has to move in with Pignon.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Call it a sorbet, a souffle or an amuse bouche, The Valet is a satisfying antidote to the overload and bombast that run rampant in American movies at this time of the year.

rotten:
Starts with a nice premise, but ends up fractured.

Veber's script is masterfully constructed to increase the laughs as the scheme grows more and more convoluted.

It's not as outrageous or as hilarious as his best work, but it's still charming, even when it isn't finding the funnybone.
