If you speak french a bit, you will find this movie great .
I'm surprised Hollywood has not made yet a remake !!! Anyway , great story, hilarious situation, the "splendid" was at its peak when they realized this movie .In fact , this movie is first a play that was recorded , then they decided to make a special film . I have seen both and i have to say , the film is better than the play. Some of the scenes are unforgettable, in particular the one where they exchanged their gifts for Christmas . In many occasions , other french filmmakers tried to retrieve the same chemistry but this movie was unique and couldn't be match. If you have a multi-zone DVD , you can buy it from Amazon.fr in Zone 2 format .Good watch .
