The story does not make any sense.
It seems like the author has just put together disparate ideas for a style exercise - "If we get Fabrice Luchini we can make people think it's a comedy and then they will be surprised it is not".
But it is not anything else either. Why would a reality show person impress so much a lawyer who is supposed to be world savvy? Because he thinks he plays in a comedy?
Then apparently the only reason it turns to drama is because he has sexuality issues (as the bodyguard in the film puts it - apparently he never had sex before).
And the real drama is the bodyguard's character - but for reasons that are left in the dark.....
In the end I felt a sense of waste of time and (production) money. Not even the beautiful landscape and colors manage to salvage anything of the lack of meaning of the movie. Making a mess with nice music and colors (Monaco) to make it seem it has sense (and style) it's not what a movie is supposed to be about.
