Mon Meilleur Ami (2006)

Movie still
Mon Meilleur Ami (2006), directed by Patrice Leconte.

Mon Meilleur Ami (My Best Friend) was my last film at TIFF and my favourite. It’s a French comedy that is actually funny! Daniel Auteuil (Caché) and Dany Boon star.

Auteil plays an arrogant antique dealer that realizes he doesn’t have a single friend in the world. He makes a bet with a colleague that he can produce his ‘best friend’ before the end of the month.

His search to find this best friend is pathetic and quite funny. Without being too corny and over the top the film plays itself out nicely. To say much more would spoil it if you intend to watch Mon Meilleur Ami. It was the perfect way for me to end the festival.***½

Films are rated from 1 to 4 stars.

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere Jay, but do you use a 4 star or 5 star rating system?

I’m using a four star rating system. I guess I should indicate that somewhere.

Ooooh, that sounds like a goodie.

Shiz, I think that you and David would like this film. Look for it if it gets a theatrical run in Canada.

I really like the design of your blog, who designed it?
