Strong coarse language

Director: Cedric Klapisch
Actors: Karin Viard, Gilles Lellouche, Kevin Bishop, Tim Pigott-Smith

From the director of The Spanish Apartment and Russian Dolls comes a brand-new comedy! France, a single mother from the blighted industrial north, and Steve, a hotshot trader with a keen eye for the killer deal, are thrown together when he's looking for a cleaner and she loses her job.

Faced with having to support her three children, with no prospects in sight, France enrolls herself in a housekeeper training program and lands a position cleaning Steve's luxurious Parisian apartment. Then, when his 3 year-old son unexpectedly comes to stay, France strikes more gold as the perpetual bachelor also hires her as a nanny for a few weeks. France starts to become accustomed to the millionaire lifestyle, but she is left wondering - what really lies behind Steve’s bullish business ways and brash demeanor? Is he as innocent as France would like him to be? Is she?

Although this is described as a comedy/drama it is really not a comedy. There are a couple of points that made me chuckle but if you are looking for a laugh you won't find them here. It is quite a good movie if you aren't watching it and wondering where the laughs are.

I enjoyed this French flick; a little bit of comedy, light heartedness and a bit of revenge.

I really enjoyed this French movie until we reached the last 20 minutes. Am not sure now if what I thought was a light comedy was in fact a drama, the end is so bad and very poor indeed. I was wondering what happened to the movie I was just watching and deeply enjoyed. The end left me perplexed. It looked lame!
