La Doublure (The Valet)

Smart. Funny. Not always predicable. Can I say anything nicer about a romantic comedy? This French production is first rate.

Gad Elmaleh does a wonderful job playing "Every Man". Few guys will not be able to relate to this character. Fewer will not be able to enjoy his predicament. Alice Taglioni and Virginie Ledoyen play his lovely counterparts in the mock tryst.

Kristin Scott Thomas, a personal favorite, is delicious as the, omniscient, powerful wife of the blundering CEO played by Daniel Auteuil. Fantastic supportive cast.

If you enjoy French scenery, this movie may not be a good choice. It could have been shot at any studio in the world. But for you purists, it is shot entirely on location. Enjoy!

Yes, it's in French with subtitles. Read every word and enjoy the voices. Call it a mini-vacation?

Watch this with someone who needs to be reminded how good they have it right where they are.
