plot : Don't poke your shrink's wife.
thought : If it weren't French...maybe.
It's just so French. A man obsessed with healthcare finds the woman of his dreams, and she's married, but he romances her anyway. The twist ? She's married to his shrink.
This harmlessly boring romantic comedy, directed by Bernard JEANJEAN (nice name, John John) has so much going for it. The idea is pretty original. But the full realisation of this idea...never really occured on film. Why wasn't Julien Boisselier's character (the "mental" patient, Raphael) a real crazy person ? Why was Carla (played by the perfectly, almost creepily pleasant-looking Judith Godreche) so pissed when her hubby tried to give her gifts ? Why did Paul (Richard Berry) get so much flak for gaining weight ? Are their marbles in Judith Godreche's head ? Is that why she always looks so blank and yet slightly confused ?
What I think should have happened is this : Raphael is really crazy. He goes off the deap-end when he loses Carla to her husband. And then the husband, in a sick need to reaffirm his power as a doctor, tries to get his wife to stay with Raphael so he doesn't lose yet another patient. Matchdotcom meets INDECENT PROPOSAL. Go picture.
