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

Story of friendship

A Customer from birmingham, 28th August, 2010

This film reflects the true definition of friendship. Interesting film, and funny too, played by famous french actors Auteuil, Boon and Gayet.

Brilliant! Watch this.

A Customer from Glasgow, 9th May, 2010

Such a great film!! In the UK we are often so used to being fed black comedy/film noir type French films. Not usually anything too funny anyway. 'My Best Friend' however seems to mix serious with funny so well. The story ties sad issues of loneliness and social failings with the quirky side of peoples lives too. It's charming without being boring. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really recommend this film.

A dead pan French comedy

A Customer from Birmingham, 2nd May, 2010

Not quite a laugh out loud comedy but it does make you smile. The plot is just a little far fetched but that's the whole point; the characters don't see the humour of the situations they put themselves in nor, come to that the, pathos. The plot is not that easy to predict (well it kept me guessing). I know it would have been better if I spoke french and could follow the dialogue but even with subtitles it was an enjoyable film to watch.
