      When the president yells at Francois and his lawyer hang up the phone, you can see that the CISCO IP Phone is not even working and has the wrong date. There is no way someone would have been able to make a phone call using that phone.

    Good comedy
    To avoid telling his wife he's been taken in picture with his top-model of a lover, a billionaire makes everyone (especially the press) think that she lives with an average guy. This guy, the classic Francois Pignon (Gad Elmaleh), is a very limited and naive valet who doesn't understand why he gets paid to live with a model.

    Although the plot is totally unbelievable, the main actors (except for Daniel Auteuil) are really supporting it. And once again, Francis Veber extremely well defined the main character.

    It would have been too easy,in my opinion, to make Francois Pignon and Elena fall in love for each other, and the director avoided this trap by adding another women in the story.
