Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche lead a starry cast in a comedy exploring the triumphs and failures of male infidelity in all its desperate, absurd and wildly funny forms.

Every timeworn excuse is proffered; every trick in the book is played.
Witty and moving, honest and cynical, hope beats eternal in the lusting male heart, but the road to illicit pleasure is never an easy one...

I had really high hopes for this film; i adore Gilles Lellouche and was very impressed with Jean Dujardin in both The Artist and the OSS films. However, this film doesn't hang together very well: It is a series of stories about a range of characters, played by the two male leads, all dealing with the theme of male infidelity. This sounds promising, but ends up being a bit of a mess. It didn't work very well as a comedy, nor did it offer enough insight into the issue to be a serious piece.
The acting, at least, was quite good - the two guys looked like they were having a ball while filming and both are attractive and charismatic.
So, if you're after something light (but not overly-funny) featuring two good-looking Frenchmen, then this is for you. Otherwise, i'd say give it a miss.

excellent late night comedy , very french yet laughing about the french sterotypes and need to have affairs . very mature [ not like american teen vulgar stuff ]. I loved every moment ; Jean Dujardin was of course brilliant .

This film, made up of eight sketches without purpose or connection, had me slapping my forehead. It purports to show us how wi-i-i-i-ildy funny and HILARIOUS infidelity is but could easily be an examination of the lead actors' mid-life crises, extensively documented here. There is lots of fraternité and liberté for the male characters but not much egalité in the poorly-written misogynistic skits. The final vignette, with its totally bonkers concluding scene, must be one of the most ill-conceived ever committed to celluloid. I wonder why Guilleme Canet gets so many of his half-baked film larks indulged? At least his mates get to have fun. Not sexy, not funny, not clever. My only lasting impression is how much Dujardin is beginning to resemble Ricky Gervais. Avoid unless watching ironically.

Don't do it
So bad....I struggled to get to the end. It just goes to show you can have amazing actors but if the script is poor the actors can not save it.

I can't believe it's not better!!
Why on earth did Jean DuJardin waste his talent on this film? I am SO disappointed, having been a big fan since seeing The Artist, and bought every DVD of his after that - putting... Read more
