  This is a quick, and airy film. The plot -a bumbling blockhead pays a valet to shack up with his mistress in order to fool his wife, while at the same time trying to convince the mistress he is getting divorced, This premise doesn't leave much to the imagination, but the dialogue is lively. The supporting characters, including a doctor who coerces medical care from his patients, adds a real spark to what would otherwise be a conventional story. Cute, and entertaining.

  The cast is great, Paris is beautiful, the story is ammusing (if not trite at times). Gad Elmaleh is (once again) absolutely charming as Pignon, the down on his (romantic) luck valet and Kristen Scott Thomas is great as the wife of the philandering millionaire (Daniel Auteuil).… More
  The cast is great, Paris is beautiful, the story is ammusing (if not trite at times). Gad Elmaleh is (once again) absolutely charming as Pignon, the down on his (romantic) luck valet and Kristen Scott Thomas is great as the wife of the philandering millionaire (Daniel Auteuil). Unfortunatley things just never seem to develope fully. I was almost expecting (when the screen went black) to see a "Insert Disc 2" message pop up, but instead the credits started rolling! We even scrolled through all of the credits, in the hopes that they would have one of those little "epilogue" clips that some films tag on to the end. But nothing.

In order to not get divorced the model and valet must con there way to prove they are a happy couple whom live together...it is too funny.

  A great movie, its in French with English subtitles, but a very funny movie. Alic Taglioni could become a favorite female actor real fast, I'm free for dinner. Worth the rent.

  [font=Century Gothic]In "The Valet", billionaire Pierre Levasseur(Daniel Auteuil) is in a bit of a pickle when he is photographed arguing with his supermodel mistress Elena Simonsen(Alice Taglioni) in the street. In order to save his marriage, his high-paying job and presumably his manhood, he tells his wife, Christine(Kristin Scott Thomas), that Elena was really with the other man in the photograph, Francois Pignon(Gad Elmaleh), a valet, who has just had his marriage proposal turned down by Emilie(Virginie Ledoyen), owner of a struggling bookstore. Pierre takes his lie one step further by fabricating a relationship between Francois and Elena(while also putting them on the payroll) by having them be seen together in public and spending their nights together at Francois' place...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"The Valet" is a sharp satirical farce about status in society. After all, what is the most important to us: a flashy car, a supermodel girlfriend or being with the person we love? The movie is funny without being cruel or condescending, especially in that the valet is a true mensch while the billionaire is at the very least a weasel. Actually, all of the characters are very much three-dimensional. And admittedly, I did take a certain amount of pleasure in the cell phone salesman being sleazy...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]Oh, yeah. Don't believe everything you read.[/font]

  So much fun! A lot of French comedies are almost too farcical for my liking, but La Doublure is just silly. The main characters are super likeable, and though it resolved a bit too quickly, it was generally very well-written and enjoyable.

  Quite funny... i bet they laughed themselves to the bank in France... anyway, this is a funny movie, but if you're looking for a plausible storyline and no strange side-tracks within that storyline, this is probably not your best bet.

  This is a relationship farce by master Francis Veber. A bit trite, but the plot just keeps getting more convoluted. Almost impossible not to be charmed by this. With Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient) and Virginie Ledoyen (The Beach).

  It was fun, but I didn't like the ending, he should have ended up with the other girl.
