Summary
When he loses his job and then his lodging, Guy turns up on the doorstep of his best friend
Daniel and asks if he can stay for a few days. Daniel and his girlfriend Françoise
agree but soon regret their gesture of kindness. Guy pushes his friends’
patience and generosity to the limit by inviting a string of one-night stands back to
the apartment...
Review
Exemplary performances from Michel Blanc and Bernard Giraudeau transform a routine comedy
into a delightful comic romp, under the skilful direction of Patrice Leconte. Less
anarchic than Leconte’s previous
Les Bronzés films, Viens chez moi has the advantage of being
somewhat better written and better performed – in short, much nearer to the sophisticated
comedies with which Leconte is now better associated. Blanc and Giraudeau
work together surprisingly well, showing a complicity that makes both of their characters
sympathetic and credible. In addition to some very witty dialogue, the film is
best remembered for is visual jokes – such as those which abound in the night visit
to Guy’s loft apartment from Hell. All in all, a likeable and pretty undemanding
little film.
