Film Review
After Alain Chabat and Dominique Farrugia, it is the turn of another member of that popular
TV comedy troupe “Les Nuls”, Chantal Lauby, to turn her hand to film making.
For her debut feature, Lauby crafts an engaging yet refreshingly caustic romantic comedy
which revolves around a woman in mid-life crisis played admirably by Lauby herself.
The film has some noticeable faults – the slow pace merely emphasises a threadbare
narrative, the characters aren’t fully developed (descending too often into the
familiar stereotypes), and some of the jokes are in rather bad taste.
