"L'étudiante et Monsieur Henri" tells the story of a grumpy old man, who invites a young woman to live with him in order to make some money. While he isn't very welcoming at first, he soon develops a plan to make her end his son's marriage of which he disapproves heavily.
The plot is well-known for French films, just think of "The Intouchables". This one ha its moments, it comes with great acting and has a smart sense of humor, at least in some of the situations. Sometimes it tries to be more artsy than it is but instead it is quite entertaining. Personally, I didn't like the last third of the film all too much because everything became a bit implausible and problems began to solve themselves while people pretended some situations never happened.
All in all this is a light-hearted comedy that takes some well-known concepts and puts them together individually. What comes out is a film that lacks some courage but has its beauty.
