Summary
François Veber is the wealthy boss of a successful world class
company. Ramon Holgado is his chauffeur, his confident and
general dog’s body, much to the annoyance of his wife Carmen, who
dreams of starting a new life in Spain...
Review
Florence Quentin’s second film is a marginal improvement on her first
abysmally lightweight offering J’ai
faim!!! (2001) but still has very little to commend it.
Even the promise of such talented performers as Gad Elmaleh,
Gérard Depardieu and Sabine Azéma fails to make up for
the rambling, very silly narrative and the most tediously caricatured
characterisation. It’s not quite death by boredom, but it comes
pretty close.
