| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferBreezy, harmless, mildly amusing and uplifting with a charismatic ensemble cast. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldMr. Wilson’s Antoine is too much of a pill to root for, and the voice-over and wispy songs dribbling over scenes only underline the forgettable filmmaking. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerEric Lavaine's midlife-crisis dramedy piles on dreary subplots involving Antoine's grating pals and their one-dimensional romantic and/or financial problems, but his material is unfunny and superficial to the point of inertia. |
| User ReviewJason KNothing like a great set of friends who will stand by you, no matter what. |
| User ReviewFrançois MLe film n'est pas un chef-d'oeuvre du 7e, mais agréable. Une, somme toute, assez sympathique histoire sur l'amitié, les mensonges, les silences... C'est léger et ça ne se prend pas la tête. Le groupe d'amis est attachant et les décors de la maison de campagne sont splendides. Du cinéma parfait pour un samedi soir tranquille. |
| User ReviewJesse OI enjoyed watching this for glimpses of the French countryside and a slice of life story of middle aged friends coping with affairs, divorce, aging, and financial insecurity. Their friendships are tested among bottles of rare wines, a gorgeous villa, and mid life crisis. |
| User ReviewOlivier BAn actor's delight: loads of room for caracter acting with witty dialogue in this satiric comedy about the lives & loves of upper middle class French couples who spend a lot of their spare time partying. A few oddball laughs such as when the only SINGLE member of the group of friends unwittingly grabs a bottle of Chateau Petrus (at $1500Ã,Ã,¬$3000 a shot!) & uses it as the base for a Sangria he happily offers to the admiring group until the true nature of the Red Wine is revealed. Lambert Wilson is outstanding as the antihero, ably supported by Franc Dubosc & Florence Foresti. |
