Mild French farce in which a sad-sack office worker with a go-nowhere job in a condom factory (Daniel Auteuil) rises socially and professionally after his co-workers and boss mistakenly believe he's gay. Gerard Depardieu is hilarious as the office jerk who's forced to be nice to Auteuil once this "homosexuality" is discovered.
Depardieu as a rugby-playing Neanderthal stuffed into a cheap, too-small business suit is a riot. His entire world is turned upside down by the PC mandate that he be nice to "the gay guy".
The film is predictable without being boring, and winkingly chastising without being pedantic. Don't worry about troublesome plot gaps--it's funny and charming and entertaining anyway.
Not "War and Peace", but definitely good for a laugh.
