Franck (Guillaume Canet), a boisterous restaurant chef, shares a large Paris apartment with Philibert (Laurent Stocker), a postcard salesman who prefers to keep the world at arm's length. Then one day, their neighbor, Camille (Audrey Tautou), becomes seriously ill, so Philibert invites her to stay with them. She initially clashes with the temperamental Franck, who is juggling work and taking care of his grandmother (Françoise Bertin). But soon the four are living together happily -- almost.

Dec 9, 2019 Endearing characters and a sweet story -- very enjoyable. See more Nov 19, 2017 Read the book a long time ago, and loved the movie. Great acting all around- and, for a change, I loved all the characters, just as I did in the book.It's not high drama, just totally satisfying. See more Jun 5, 2016 a whimsical comedy performed with heart. See more May 30, 2015 French subtitles only, but it helps if you understand the language better than you express yourself in it. See more Nov 3, 2014 A decidedly above average French film. Although a little uneven, it's very grown up and still uplifting. See more Feb 8, 2013 As cute as Audrey Tautou is even she can't save EVERYTHING. See more Read all reviews
