  I was drawn in by Julie Gayet, uplifted by Dany Boon and mesmerized by Daniel Auteuil. Delightful and light-hearted.

• Nicki M

  
  Enjoyable French comedy. Struck a chord with me - I could relate to the socially awkward main character!

• Gordon A

  
  Intriguing premise is stretched too far. The antisocial lead isn't believably friendless and the sociable friend's anxieties contrived.

• Ross C

  
  Corny contemporary French take on a classic Dickens tale. Auteuil's Scrooge-like character has to prove he's capable of having a best friend in this humorous easy-watching movie.

  [font=Century Gothic]In "My Best Friend," Francois Coste(Daniel Auteuil), divorced with a grown a daughter, Louise(Julie Durand), is an antiques dealer who on impulse purchases an expensive vase at auction. Alarmed at this, his business partner, Catherine(Julie Gayet), bets him the vase that he does not have any friends and that to win the bet he must produce his best friend by the end of the month, in ten days' time. But Francois is stumped until a garrulous, know-it-all cab driver, Bruno(Dany Boon), comes to his rescue...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]All of which cannot but help remind me of the greatly superior "Un Coeur en Hiver" which put Daniel Auteuil on the map playing an emotionally cold businessman. Not only that but that movie proved with subtlety that such a person is sometimes necessary. Occasionally unwatchable, "My Best Friend" takes the heavy-handed approach in its take on friendship with an absolutely ludricrous climax.(Director Patrice Leconte should certainly know better since he made the exquisitely wonderful "Man on the Train" about a unique friendship.) Catherine is cruel in making the bet and this is proof that workplace interventions are never a good idea since business relationships are different from friendships. There is nothing wrong with how Bruno and Francois carry themselves, since they have the perfect personalities for their chosen professions.[/font]

  Wonderfully witty. A great way to spend an hour and a half.

• William G

  
  Enjoyable trifle overstays its welcome with live-television conclusion.

  A real snoozefest..Auteuil portrays a very unlikeable character, and worse yet, you still feel the same at the end of the film. Script is a bit predictable and pedestrian, but the female actresses are sexy (this is a french movie of course). Dany Boon's performance is worth… More

Script is a bit predictable and pedestrian, but the female actresses are sexy (this is a french movie of course). Dany Boon's performance is worth noting and if you see this movie, its the one bright spot.

  If you died tomorrow, would anyone be at your funeral? One man finds out the terrible truth that he doesn't have anyone who really likes him. I found his journey to not only find a friend, but learn how to be a friend, heartwarming.
