Nice guy Antoine (Daniel Auteuil) experiences a big life change when he saves Louis (Jose Garcia) from committing suicide in a nearby park. Louis is a walking basket case over the loss of his great love Blanche who dumped him in order to move on. Antoine takes in Louis and becomes his guardian angel in almost every imaginable way which leads to Antoine's life being turned upside down. This is a honestly funny and clever film about a classic triangle gone crazy. The situations they find themselves in are often predictable but hilarious. It's all in the execution.

Good acting all-around, a timeless story creatively retold, and a nice turn at the end.

Fuhgedaboutit!
