Well thought out comedy and love story. Good watching for both husband and wife. Kate Hudson shows her acting ability to be believable and versatile. We not only bought this DVD from Amazon.com but we have watched it several times and have laughed just as hard each time. The plot is old hat but well copied on todays standards. She has to dump him and he has to get her to fall for him. The way the writer approaches this setup uses some writers license but hides it well in a good script which keeps moving forward. You are constantly waiting to see what is going to happen next and something new does happen each time to renew your suspense. Even after watching this movie there is a need for much discussion. Then there is more laughter.

We first saw it on German TV. We laughed so hard that in the last 10 years we have seen it about 15 times. We are still looking for a copy to purchase.

The Bank employee (a family man) is going to retire early. One of his fellow workers has a sister who is a high priced "call-girl." The employees chip in an decide to give him "her" as a retirement gift without him knowing it. He thinks he is going on a little vacation by himself.

Now that the plot is set, and he just accidently gets in the same booth with the call girl (Clio Goldsmith) and the action starts with this unknowing poor soul.

There is serious comedy as only the French can produce. But they have added a little slapstick (which hurt the rating a little) and a lot of embarrassing situations which end up even more embarrassing. This gives an edge for more comedy and we loved every minute if it.

It is an adult movie with nudity done in good taste and even the women will enjoy watching this one with their husbands.

I saw this movie in the late 50's on TV. I liked it so much that I never forgot it. I have never seen it since. Just recently I found out the title. It is everything a good movie should be. Too bad I can't find a copy. There are tear jerkers, gags, action, and it is fairly fast moving. It is b&w but the material makes up for it. The makers should put it on DVD and offer it. I would be one of the first customers. I will never forget the horse running after the bus.
