I really did not like this movie and cannot understand all the noise about it. I must admit I do not like other Leconte's movies as well, with the exception of 'le mari de la coiffeuse'.
I often get the impression of something 'deja vu', possibly presented in another way, sometimes from an original point of view, but essentially something which has already been said. In this movie Leconte represents two different, almost opposite characters who eventually understand each other and come to like each other. Well that you perceive at the very beginning and there is almost no development (I mean true development) of the argument. The story gets boring even with some ironic episodes. From my point of view there is no depth in the description of characters and story (rather poor as a matter of fact). I get the impression that the originality of the movie is only an exterior aspect.
