superb.........

williamsgwynfa from , 11th May, 2007

this film is a superb film about real friendship. Francois is a middle aged Parisian, who has everything he wants. he has a rewarding job as an antiques dealer, a beautiful apartment, a very loving girlfriend, and a teenage daughter. What he soon realizes though, is that he does not have, any true friends. A bet is made - Francois has 10 days to come up with a best friend, to show off to his colleagues, or he will lose his newly acquired antique Greek vase. He begins a search, to find a friend, which is very funny. As Francois rides through Paris in search of his bet-winning friend, he meets, a general knowledge and trivia knowing taxi driver called Bruno. The two of them seem to meet over and over again, in very funny situations. Is Bruno, destined to be Francois - new best friend? watch the film to find out, as i am not going to spoil it, by telling you. well worth watching.

A worthwhile watch....

PaulaWestwood from , 17th May, 2007

I sometimes find French movies slightly heavy going, but this is certainly one of the better ones. Francois (Daniel Auteuil) has concentrated on his antiques business and has had no real time for other poeple or friends in his life, when challenged in a bet for an expensive antique vase to produce a 'best friend' he searches fervently for somone he can actually term a friend of any sort, let alone 'best' and the results are both funny and poignant... The review on these pages by Felicity Williams says it all...one of the best subtitled movies I have seen. It definately deserves a watch

Men - do you have a friend?

A Customer from Cambridge, 18th February, 2010

An interesting story and quite funny in parts but also serious. Looks at male relationships and lack of them. One for eveyone!

You need to be in the mood

FromHereToThere from , 25th December, 2009

This film is brilliant if you feel like watching a comidy that makes you think. It's not too predicable and yet you know it will turn out well. Dany Boon is good and you can feel for the no-friend-friend in the end.

Wonderful feelgood film..

A Customer from Manchester, 4th December, 2009

What a good film! Feel good without being too cheesey. It's enaging, heartwarming and intelligent. I love this film and Daniel Autiel yet again does something different.

I'd never heard of this movie, it was recommended by a colleague. It's beautiful, funny and very moving. Thoroughly recommended.
