Plot Summary:Unemployed for three years, Gerard has landed a job in Indonesia. To start off on the right foot with his \"team leader\", Gerard invites him to dinner. Considering his wife's lack of culinary talent, that may not be the brightest idea he ever had. Their neighbor, Alexandre, a PR whiz, is willing to help, as long as Gerard and Colette are prepared to accept changes in their habits and surroundings. After many dramas, mishaps, misunderstandings and general bungling, with frazzled nerves, Gerard and Colette open the door to welcome... their dinner guest.
在單一的室內完成大部分的拍攝,對話有味,劇本新穎,構思精巧,人物也很可愛。除了笑料百出之外,影片還將矛頭指向了法國中年人的失業問題,劇本寫得像出自Francis Veber之手。結尾亦毫不猶豫地進行了角色大反轉:最不幸的不一定是我們認為的那個人!故事講述了失業三年嘅Gérard搵到一份前往印尼就職嘅工,為咗同團隊領導有一個好的開端,Gérard邀請佢共進晚餐。前來修漏水問題嘅鄰居Alexandre系個公關高手得知情況後,主動提出幫手,將Gérard和Colette的生活習慣和環境進行大改造。但最後到嚟的領導是否真系buy呢嚸門面功夫?定原本樸實無華的一面更為有利?!幾欣賞套戲中喜劇情境和誤解以閃電般的速度接踵而至的更迭。
时隔几年后在看这部片 感受是截然不同的 可能是自己慢慢长大 父母渐渐老去 对walt的很多做法开始理解 常年在外工作 更让自己多一份对父母的亏欠
很搞笑的室内剧,让人想起不少经典的法国喜剧段子,Thierry Lhermitte有天分。
