WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

betty dalton Man wants to kill himself over his broken heart caused by a girl who left him. This suicidal man gets saved by another man who unfortunately falls in love with the woman who caused the broken heart of the suicidal man.Daniel Autteuil, if you havent heard of the man, he is one of the most popular and acclaimed actors in France since decades. A sort of thinner version of Gerard Depardieu. If you have never heard of Depardieu either then just jump in and watch this lovely french comedy. It is hilarious from beginning to end. One of my most favorite comedies ever. I must have seen it dozens of times by now and the jokes stay fresh.Wnat makes "Apres Vous" special is the excellent acting which make the characters to die for. I just love these characters who stumble, fall and climb up again, all struggling with a broken heart and fortunately they fall in love again. An hilariously feelgood comedy. Big hit in Europe. Modern comedy classic.

daniel Carbajo López Antoine works in a good restaurant and one day, at returning home, he saves Louis' life, as he was going to commit suicide. Surprisingly Louis gets very angry and Antoine decides to help him and tries help him to recovering his will for life. Louis is in love to Blanche, and, as she does not love him, he wants to die. In order to help him, Antoine meets Blanche, but things will not develop as he waits... I hoped this film to be as good as "la cena de los idiotas", but I was very disappointed, at any moment I laughed, and I must say I found it very boring. Neither the story is interesting nor the actors have their best day. To sum up, I did not like it, there are many better films to watch.

R FC Is it a romantic comedy or a farce? In either case, it does not succeed as either or both. The biggest problem is the with the premise. The notion that someone will go to such lengths, and such financial expense, to help someone who is in dire need of medical assistance is simply not plausible. Afterall, the guy does try to kill himself within the first few minutes. And thus one watches this movie constantly thinking, "I don't believe this is happening". While the acting is fine, the characters are all to broad and the reason for the infatuation with the girl is never developed and so we have no understanding as to why these men are so consumed by her.

gradyharp It seems when it comes to romantic comedies the French have the corner on the market and technique. APRES VOUS is a bit of pastiche with a storyline that borders on absurd, but in the hands of director Pierre Salvadori it becomes not only an enjoyable farce, but also a tender little statement about compassion.Antoine (Daniel Anteuil) is the fastidious and ultra compassionate manager of a high-class restaurant who bends over backwards for his staff, his patrons, and anybody who crosses his path who appears needy. He ends up making his girlfriend Christine (Marilyne Canto) take second place to his humanitarian concerns and this puts a strain on his relationship. One evening in a rush to meet Christine he encounters Louis (José Garcia) who is in the process of hanging himself in the park, his desired finale to a life of frustration and loss of his girlfriend Blanche (Sandrine Kiberlain). Naturally Antoine rescues him, feeds him, even brings him home, all the while putting his life on hold to help Louis heal his wounds. Louis is most concerned about the loss of Blanche and Antoine immediately commits his efforts to find her, woo her back for Louis (including revealing Blanche's current boyfriend's infidelity) - but in the process there develops a mutual attraction between Antoine and Blanche! Antoine arranges for Louis to get a job at his restaurant despite Louis' depression and lack of training. Just when everything seems to be turning out for the best, Christine leaves Antoine, and the circumstances surrounding Antoine's salvage of Louis' life change and the ending is somewhat of a French twist! The acting is fine, the pacing is fine, the only problem is with the characters themselves: we soon tire of Antoine's absurd selflessness and Louis' nerdy helplessness and that hampers the identification with these characters. Other than that the film is a brisk, sweet little French farce that leaves you humming. Grady Harp
