I speak French and lived in Rouen (where the movie was filmed) for a year. I watch French films almost to the exclusion of other genres. I figure one needs to watch about 10 French films to find at least one of value. This is not the one. I have never ended a film before it was over but pulled this one out of the DVD player after about 45 minutes. The characters were perhaps a bit more believable than the ones in "La Potiche" but not by much. The situations weren't much more believable than the characters and the film in general is depressing and slow. I avoid action/3-D films and generally search out films of a more mundane and life-like quality but couldn't find those qualities in this picture. I even survived watching "La moustache" the whole way through but couldn't take this one. Ugghhh...
