A box office blockbuster in France, the picture follows the romantic couplings that form in the lives of several lonely Parisian singles. The lead characters include: an emotionally fragile, exhausted cleaning lady named Camille (Audrey Tatou) who is suffering from anorexia; a well-to-do young man named Phillibert struggling with his own sexual orientation (Laurent Stocker) but who begins to drift toward heterosexuality and a stable relationship with a woman; and Phillibert's rebellious pothead roommate Franck (Guillaume Canet), who can never quite breach the possibility of committing to one woman, or come face to face with his dream of opening a French restaurant - until he meets Camille and the pieces begin to fall into place. Writer-director Berri adapted the novel by Anna Gavaldi. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews
...a French version of a tale that's become all too familiar in American Independent filmmaking - that of a family constructed from the broken remains of several.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Very simple yet very effective...
-
Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile
A charming and uplifting film with engaging performances and a music score ripe for humming, even though it is not director Claude Berri's most complete work
-
Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
Frothy and intelligent in all the right places until the film's overly clichéd ending robs it of much of its off-kilter charm.
