Cute , French and new wave-ishly fun. In this Male Hunt I was not sure as to who was hunting who . It seems to cast an unflattering light on the ladies as being quite manipulative while letting the gents get away with the most outrageous schemes. Like leaving weddings and hiding women in closets. However, it is neat to see almost anything that in trying to be so new and modern at the time it was filmed that has now become so dated as to be a time capsule. The film is like a slice of modern life for the time and so is to todays eyes quite a farce indeed.
If remade now with all the trappings for the world we live in it would i'm sure be very well received as a weekly sit-com on T.V. There is a youthful perspective on the impermanence of love. Joie de vivre rules the day and night in multiple locations and combinations of several couples. The little bar that plays a main role reminds me very much of the one in Amelie. In the end everyone seems happy enough for the time being, I suppose.
