We found this very enjoyable comedy a minor gem. Concur the acting is well over the top and very hammy, but IMHO it was not meant to be anything else.
I have always been a big fan of Samuel Bihan and must pick him out for particular praise as he probably had the most physically demanding role.
All the big stars seemed to enjoy their respective roles as none demanded any true acting skills, but as comedies go it is very good.
So ignore the negative comments made prior to this review and relax to an undemanding typical French comedy more akin to the best French comedies of the 1980's.
And Emmanuelle Beart is truly beautiful, with a big(sic)plus of the French giant Gerard Depardeau.
