Found this in a local supermarket for just a few Euros and thought "what the heck". Discovered why it was so cheap - in spite of the fact it contains well known actors - Lhermitte, Balasko et alia - the comedy just doesn't work. It's mildly entertaining ( with Balasko, there are always SOME laughs ) but Lhermitte is below par ( as he was in "Le Placard" ) and Karin Viard is not really funny in the true sense of the word - you feel sorry for what has happened to her but you end up getting frustrated as she's more a pain in the neck than anything else. I don't want to be overly negative about the work as there is some mild entertainment there but in view of the past experiences of the two main actors, I was expecting something a little more developed and a little more inspired. Indeed, the fact of casting Balasko as a psychiatrist could have opened the door to a myriad of comic situations but I really found her rather too tame in this particular performance. Surprising, because she directed the film herself !! Which may go to show that she is a better actor than director !
