Plot summary
A heartbroken literary critic turns his despair into creativity following a bitter divorce, only to encounter an enchanting beauty who poses a major challenge to his newfound cynicism. Marc Marronnier thought his marriage was going well until his wife deemed him immature, and left him for a high-profile writer. Devastated, he began filtering all of his heartache into a misanthropic manuscript decrying the virtues of true love. But later, when Marc falls hard for his cousin's radiant and gorgeous wife, his entire life is turned upside down. Louise Bourgoin and Gaspard Proust star in a film by actor and author-turned-director Frederic Beigbeder.

Funny!
I am surprised that the score of this movie is so relatively low. Whilst it's nothing special, it's also really funny, shrewd and almost never facile: a little comedy about love and life with several laugh-out moments (the sequence of the fake "documentary" towards the end, with the famous philosophers saying trivialities with utter conviction, is worth the price of the dvd alone). Lightweight but not pedestrian. Recommended.
