Folle d'elle
1998 Comedy / Romance   

 

Review
Whilst there are some amusing moments in the film, the derivative nature of its plot, with its crass stereotypical representation of career women and gay men, renders it largely tedious and insulting.  The lack of originality in the plot is matched only by the dire script and uninspired direction.  Only the ebullient comic performances from Ophélie Winter and Jean-Marc Barr prevents the whole thing from being a total fiasco.

Synopsis
Whilst staying in Los Angeles, freelance photographer Marc needs a place to stay, so he moves in with his friends, a gay couple, Alex and Victor.  The arrangement quickly turns sour, so Victor contrives a scheme whereby Marc can move into his friend Lisa’s apartment.  Lisa has just broken up with her husband and so has no time for straight men at the moment, but she enjoys the company of gay men.  Marc needs a room so badly that he is prepared to pretend to be gay...
