Somewhat amusing French comedy about a quiet, zero-personality man who poses as gay to save his job. Naturally, it turns his life upside down. OK but nothing great and slightly insulting to gay men **SPOILERS AHEAD!!!** For instance...an older gay man helps the straight gay "become" gay. At the end the guy saves his job, gets a new wife, gets a personality, reunited with his son and tells off his horrible ex-wife...all by pretending to be gay. Meanwhile, the REAL gay guy is left alone with two adorable kittens. I find that a little offensive, but the film is too slight to get really angry at it...but haven't we advanced beyond this in 2001? A few good genuine laughs but, overall, it left a slightly bad taste in my mouth.
