It could have lasted for a whole life, but fed up with mollycoddling and helping him, his mother and sisters decide it's time he got married, and the sooner the better!Surrounded and hounded by his family who think only of marrying him off, he comes up with an infallible plan: he'll find the perfect woman who'll pretend to be his fiancee and then, on the day of the wedding, will cruelly dump him. After that, for certain no one will dare even mention the word 'marriage' in front of him. But how do you go about finding such a gem? Luis sees only one solution: hire her! And it just so happens that Emma, his best friend and colleague's sister, has recently arrived in Paris and is looking for a job. The plan is underway. At the end of it lies Luis' freedom!

Critic Reviews
-
Wally Hammond, Time Out
A heavily contrived, undemanding and often funny mainstream Paris-set comedy-drama.
-
Lisa Nesselson, Variety
Remains in conventional (if enjoyable) movie territory from start to finish.
-
Enrique Buchichio, Uruguay Total
(...) Es el tipo de película sobre la cual no puede decirse nada demasiado positivo ni demasiado negativo. A veces está bueno ir al cine sabiendo que no hay que esperar más que eso.
-
Anthony Quinn, Independent
Proof that the French can make romcoms as annoying as ours.
-
Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph
Prominent base notes of chauvinism and insincerity here.
