This is a strange little French comedy that's more absurdist art than
entertainment. A married couple are at a restaurant in the middle of an
argument when suddenly Gérard Depardieu as Bob shows up. He sweeps them both
off their feet into a series of house break-ins. Yet Bob isn't interested in
wooing the wife, although he does, he's obsessed with the husband whom he
expects to be gay. While never predictable and at times funny, I had a hard
time really caring that much for any of the characters, which would have made
for a more satisfying film. Grade: B
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
