Not one of Francis Veber's more famous films (as a screenwriter), probably because it is one of the few that have not been remade in the US, but still an amiable enough diversion. Veber's formula is simple: a funny farcical premise, characters who become more human and likable as you get to know them (played by an engaging cast), and a pacifistic, pro-friendship message . The formula mostly works. **1/2 out of 4.
