La Doublure (The Valet)

I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago, but do to lazyness i was unable to write a little review for it. haha

So let's begin. This film, as you can tell by the Title of this entry, that it is Foreign, French.

This film follows an ordinary guy,François Pignon, whom is yes you guessed it a valet worker, played by Gad Elmaleh. He is caught between a scandle that must be hidden in order to save another mans, Pierre Levasseur, marriage. Pierra played by Daniel Auteuil, is having an affair with a super model, Elena Simonsen whom is played by Alive Taglioni. Pierre's wife, Christine Levasseur, played by Kristine Scott Thomson, finds a photograph of Pierre and Elena, and is suspicious. In this photo however, happens to have Francois in it, which as a result leads Pierre to tell his wife that it was Francois who was with the super model.

In order to follow this lie, Francois Pignon is paid to pretend that he is dating Elena. They are forced to live with each other and act like a real couple. In the midst of all of this, Francois has already another love and another friend who is also a valet worker. He is forced to keep this scandle hidden, which results in more confusion with the other people in his life.

I really enjoyed this film, it was a fun comedy to watch. It's just one of those movies that you dont have to think about. The story and plot is very basic, yet fun to watch. Another Foreign film to reccomend. Check it out.
