Very gentle comedy - My Best Friend review by Tim from London
Up until the last twenty minutes this is a gentle and lightly engaging Fench comedy. It tells the story of a lonely and unlikeable man (Daniel Auteuil) who, for a bet, tries to find a best friend that he can introduce to his friends. OK - it is not in the same league as the great French comedies like 'le dinner de cons' but it does have some OK moments - especailly the scenes between the two leads who are both (as always) very good. The big problem is the ending - which is dreadful. It features the French version of 'Who wants to be a millionaire' and I bet you can guess the ending already!

Daniel Auteil brilliant again - My Best Friend review by MG
Beautiful and brilliant film. Well directed, superb casting for every role. Provides some wonderful insight into the meaning, value and definition of friendship. DA always chooses his roles carefully and this is no exception. Recommend highly.
