This is a charming, cute story set in France. Hope you don't mind subtitles.
It's one of those romantic comedies with mistaken identities, role reversals and a few physical gags thrown in. With restaurants, wine and flowers as key plot elements, it really works being in French. The same movie would be horrendous if remade in the US.
The basic plot is a restaurant maitre d' saves a guy who lost his girlfriend from hanging himself, and in attempting to help him get his life back in order, his own life starts falling apart. By the end, the loser is the successful one, but it doesn't turn out all bad for the maitre d'.
On the DVD, we saw previews for Shultze Gets the Blues and The Machinist. Both look like interesting independent films.
Good date flick. Recommended.
