The plot is plain dumb, and we are dealing, in the main, with characters who are living their private fantasies of what they perceive modern, sophisticated French urban lifestyle is all about. There is always a glass of something close to hand, much of the "action" takes place at meal tables, and too much discourse centers on who bonked whom and how long ago. Female lead Ludivine Sagnier, playing a vivacious TV weather girl,can't make up her mind whether she's in love with a very self-important author older than her mother, or disgusted by him. Simultaneously she's dealing half-heartedly with the close attentions of a very wealthy and very smitten young man whose immaturity and emotional imbalance grated on this viewer. How will it all turn out?With characters like these, does anybody care?
