"You might well find it very silly, but it grew on me, and it's certainly based on an interesting premise." | POS |

"If sex, gangsters, and killing Nazis are three of the most enlivening topics in the movies, then let us count friendship as one of the most tiresome" | NEG |

"One looks to Leconte for some of the finest, most sophisticated and compassionate filmmaking coming out of France, not for a situation comedy." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Although Leconte allows for a certain warmth to run through the film, he thankfully stays away from sentimentality. Therein lays the charm." | POS |
Canada |
|
"An unconvincing replica of the dizzy situation comedies that Hollywood poured out in double and triple bills in the thirties and forties" | NEU |

United States |

"[Director] Leconte and his perfectly suited stars have given us one of those light comedies that carry a world of lovely weight." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"It was directed by Patrice Leconte, who makes intelligent films combining sympathy for his characters with a quick wit, a dark undertow and a love of human peculiarity. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
