Ce n'est que lorsqu'il a le coup de foudre pour Agnès, une belle et riche cliente, que Pierre Renaud, caissier principal d'un grand hôtel, se résout à soigner son extrême timidité. Afin de ne pas la perdre de vue, Pierre suit Agnès de palace en palace. Par hasard, il revoit Aldo, le représentant qui lui a vendu la méthode sur cassettes, et celui-ci décide de lui prodiguer de bons conseils pour déclarer son amour. Mais dès les premières tentatives, plutôt maladroites, Agnès semble le détester. (ESC Distribution)

The scenes with the Pétanque, the impersonation in the restaurant or the ending in the fireman's uniform and gas mask are really unparalleled. Funny as hell. And although it may not seem like it, Pierre Richard also gives a perfect acting performance. I love him in all his positions - in the initial super-shy ("Yes?" - "I love you!"), when only his inner voice is confident (and only maybe), then in the following one, when he tries to get rid of his problem with all his strength and especially with the help of his new friend, and in the final, irresistibly bold creation in the casino. It's not a pure five stars, but almost.

Crazy and typical for Pierre story, which tries to go beyond the limits of audacity and tries something that he never had a problem with. Even though that's how I know Pierre best from his comedies. Beautiful music by Vladimir Cosma and an incredibly pleasant story. I watched it during a period that was more than just stressful for me, and Pierre managed to make me very happy. These feelings are perhaps only brought by good old French comedies.

Pierre Richard is far from the peaks of fiery eroticism the whole time and during the treatment, he just trudges along at the foothills. But one day, the fire will ignite... Surprisingly, it was most enjoyable during the lofty monologues, possibly because the moments of situational comedy showed signs of cliché and sometimes even got quite boring (like washing dishes). The conclusion is fairly optimistic, but something tells me that Ferrari will be first at the finish line...

It's not as funny or as clever as I expected after seeing The Toy, but there are some very good and funny scenes. They just aren't spread out evenly throughout the film. Pierre Richard directed himself very well, and the film definitely won't bore you; it just might occasionally make you a bit uneasy.
