French flag waving one of the surprises of the moment film, The truffacuori that Chaumeil Pascal, but with his debut feature film behind him an apprenticeship at the court of Luc Besson Leon , The fifth element and Jeanne d ' Arco , in addition to directing several films and television series, packs careful not to play with decreasing the public's attention.
The story of Alex Lippi and his work is not just falling among those who can produce identity card: defuse passions of love. In a nutshell, is hired by our parents, brothers, sisters so many friends and an engagement inevitably coming to a wedding that, according to the principals, would everything except the happiness of the bride, can fail without regret, by the person subject to the bank. The
sex appeal and a melancholic sweetness studied mean that Alex does not know the activity of failures: the aspiring wives fall at his feet (just a kiss, though: the Ethics prohibits go further) and a life without any major economic problems seem to be guaranteed.
But if you already have a steady job is not always sure of being able to accompany up to retirement, let alone having to rely on who cares about another's well-being: orders and dangerously diminish recourse to usury increases proportionately with the tempting prospect of anything to feel sooner or later the bones shatter.
An escape occurs when a more than generous allowance is removed from the wealthy father of Juliette to blow up the wedding of his daughter with Jonathan, a boy and a prominent family with concerns of money near zero.
This time, however, the consummate professionalism of Alex and his team (his sister and her husband, who occupy one of the organizational part, the other of obtaining information about life, works and tastes - Alex needs to do his - the future miss wives, as well as technological support) are not enough, because the love between two young people is bombproof, and twist, perhaps for the first time Alex is ashamed of what he does, since it completely loses his head Juliette.
Mission impossible for the truffacuori then, but not for Pascal Chaumeil, which hits the target by loading the camera with a clever mix of location always beautiful to watch (Paris, desert dunes, Monte Carlo), rhythm progress and freshness of comic invention, thanks primarily to their brother in law of Alex, Marc (François Damiens a wild, that this role has earned a César nomination as best supporting actor).
The face slapped by Romain Duris (Alex) and the irregular beauty Vanessa Paradis (Juliette) have good game to grab the sympathy of the viewer and towards the end of games if you turns a bit 'too little on the routes of the story wrong : the 'fuitina' Juliette with Alex on the eve of the "Yes" to Jonathan style madly in love (crazy with two zeta), which is a perfect close to the review of the final ballet of Dirty Dancing to the tune of ( I've Had) The Time of My Life , is a moment of movie that makes you feel good. And that is enough.
