| Original Score: B | Sep 7, 2011

A light, entertaining comedy with little, if any, redeeming value, other than a few good laughs.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2005

Although the ingredients are excellent, the result is an overcooked comedy more often provoking indigestion than laughter.

Full Review | Aug 25, 2005

A lightweight farce that remains enjoyable primarily for the time spent with Auteuil.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 5, 2005

Plays like some kind of weak joke in which two men keep repeating the line to each other.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 10, 2005

French fluff at its creepiest: illogical, exasperating, overlong and based on characters who are just as empty as the creatures who inhabit Hollywood fluff.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 8, 2005

From the beginning I found the plot contrivances more than a little forced, and the behavior of the various characters improbably extreme.

Full Review | Jul 7, 2005

The premise is razor thin, but [Daniel Auteuil] sells it with everything he's got.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 30, 2005

The misunderstandings and crisscrossing agendas never build to critical mass; the movie doesn't go insane, and it needs to.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 24, 2005

A sweet, if dramatically overlong, trifle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2005

Lacks farcical insanity and settles for being a sitcom, not a very good one.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 17, 2005

There isn't much to the movie, and you can see where it's going from kilometers away. But Auteuil gives the silliness a surprising heft.

A film that moves you to laugh has become as rare as one that makes you cry, so Apres Vous should be cherished for its seriously funny moments.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 10, 2005

Nothing lives up to its name like French farce, and director Pierre Salvadori's bit of nonsense about a good Samaritan who aborts a stranger's suicide attempt then dedicates himself to making the man's life worth living exceeds the limits of the genre.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 3, 2005

Parlez-vous farce? Aprs Vous speaks the lingo haltingly, like the French you sort of learned in high school.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 3, 2005

This delightfully spirited film is perfectly cast, and it's hard to imagine how Daniel Auteuil, Jos Garcia and Sandrine Kiberlain could possibly improve upon their irresistible, multifaceted portrayals.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 2, 2005

A meandering comedy that offers the pleasure of watching the great French actor Daniel Auteuil as the world's most overzealous, uptight good Samaritan.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 2, 2005

Even as it takes some zany potshots at the conventions of bourgeois comedy, the movie is rife with exactly the kind of pat, predictable reversals that define the form.

Full Review | Jun 2, 2005

The overly long and monotonous Aprs Vous serves up the unfunny kind of absurdity.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 1, 2005

Suicidal depression has rarely looked so amusing.
