Quirky French films like this can either work really well or be absolutely intolerable. Thankfully, this proves to be a very enjoyable comedy about jealousy.

Both Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsborough are thoroughly appealing, as their unblinking honesty and openness shines through even the film's silliest bits.

Attal's hang-ups surrounding infidelity are so old-fashioned and, dare I say, outdated, it's a wonder that he couldn't have brought something fresher to the proceedings simply by accident.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 12, 2002

Never less than clever and often digs down into some uncomfortable realities about the strange lives of that odd species known as 'movie people.'

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2002

God help the poor woman if Attal is this insecure in real life: his fictional Yvan's neuroses are aggravating enough to exhaust the patience of even the most understanding spouse.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2002

"My Wife is an Actress" blends elements of fiction and reality, shakes them up and hopes for the best.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 21, 2002

It's the kind of movie that ends up festooning U.S. art house screens for no reason other than the fact that it's in French (well, mostly) with English subtitles and is magically 'significant' because of that.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2002

Attal pushes too hard to make this a comedy or serious drama. He seems to want both, but succeeds in making neither.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 11, 2002

Starts off witty and sophisticated and you want to love it -- but filmmaker Yvan Attal quickly writes himself into a corner.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2002

Not only is this material slight, it also seems ridiculously padded.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 11, 2002

I found it slow, predictable and not very amusing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 11, 2002

A funny valentine to show business and marriage, an inside joke that plays humorously for anybody to grasp.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2002

The three leads produce adequate performances, but what's missing from this material is any depth of feeling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 23, 2002

My Wife Is an Actress is an utterly charming French comedy that feels so American in sensibility and style it's virtually its own Hollywood remake.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 20, 2002

My Wife's plotting is nothing special; it's the delivery that matters here.

| Sep 12, 2002

The situation and humor are sitcom quality at best.
