A great French comedy starring Daniel Auteuil, Valerie Lemecier and Thierry Lhermitte.
Gerard, a clingfilm expert, has been unemployed for a very long time. Finally, he is offered
a new job, in Indonesia, but first the manager wants to check out his home life, especially his wife's cooking skills, which unfortunately don't exist! A neighbour, who is an image consultant, offers to help the very worried couple, but only makes things worse for them.
This is a fast moving, easy to watch, very funny film about ordinary people and the sometimes
difficult situations they can find themselves in. Is it best to take on board all the advice given, or just cope as best as you can? Watch the film and decide for yourself. I found the message to be - always be yourself, and if you have a train set running through your house, don't move it in case someone else may think you weird. They may also enjoy playing with it!
The film is in French, with English subtitles. It runs for 86 minutes.
