The Closet Reviews
If some situations strain credulity, it's still a rare comedy that will make us laugh and get us to think.
| Original Score: A- | Apr 30, 2024
This witty film courageously takes on the corporate world in all its greed and prejudice. And wins.

If one didn't know any better, one would think that French farceur Francis Veber's latest comedy as a just-unearthed relic from the '80s, given how it treats homosexuality as some sort of cutesy novelty.

...there are a number of sequences that would clearly benefit from a more broad sensibility (there's a scene that's virtually crying out for a spit take, for example).

While there are laughs to be had, on a whole Veber's new film is an unfunny and offensive disaster, wasting a truckload of rich comedic talent in the process.

all honours finally go to Veber, who has once again single-handedly changed the landscape of gay filmmaking, proving that gay subject matter can be financially successful without being condescending.

Veber has created a film which manages to be both humorous and thought-provoking.

A harmless, genial sitcom comedy that has little bite in its political and sexual agenda...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2002
This is a film with gay/lesbian sensibilities that can play well with a crossover more mainstream crowd

Full Review | Original Score: 75/100 | Jan 22, 2002
This one-joke movie manages so many imaginative wrinkles that it successfully extends the joke into a feature length film.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 5, 2002
Genial, likable, and perhaps, in its own peculiar way, even thought-provoking.
