Customer Reviews

Crossing gender boundaries
The kind of thing only the French can get away with - a lighhearted, genuinely funny, comedy about a menage a trois, bisexuality, shifting gender and sexual roles and cultural/sexual stereotypes. At heart, though, this is also a serious, and at times genuinely moving, film about the nature of marriage and commitment, and the search for personal fulfilment through intimate relationships. Great that it comes in such a fun package.

Good Entertainment
Easy going and light hearted comedy. My partner & I laughed out loud on occasions, there are some excellent sight-gags! Don't be put off by the fact that it's sub-titled, the plot is easy to follow and the casting, cinematography and music are all top notch. It's quite discreet and they went to some trouble to avoid full frontal nudity (which was funny in itself) in a very self-aware manner.

Funny but unbelievable
An entertaining film that had some funny moments. I didn't find the story believable, not least that a mother of two small boys could have such a lot of spare time and energy to have so much sex! She and the heterosexual male characters were largely caricatures, but their attitudes did high-light how people can have inconsistent standards over the behaviour they expect of others compared with themselves. The most believable and sympathetic character was the "butch" lesbian. Maybe that was the point of the film? I don't think the film was trying to be a satire - more a modern farce.
