A middle-aged single French woman (Balasko) falls in love with an annoying demon (Auteuil).
This movie is a very funny love story between a demon and his victim. It is little twisted and offbeat. The movie succeeds mostly due to Daniel Auteuil who has done an amazing job as the demon. Even though he is a demon, the character is played with such aplomb and charm that the girl and audience both end up liking him.
His encounter with the Angels and then his conversion are both very amusing. One of few movies that have an unattractive female lead but still manages to pull it off. It is a nice twist to show the demons as having emotions and being redeemable. Though the movie became a little clichéd near the very end, everything preceding it makes up for the small fault.
