superb.........
this film is a superb film about real friendship. Francois is a middle aged Parisian, who has everything he wants. he has a rewarding job as an antiques dealer, a beautiful apartment, a very loving girlfriend, and a teenage daughter.
What he soon realizes though, is that he does not have, any true friends.
A bet is made - Francois has 10 days to come up with a best friend, to show off to his colleagues, or he will lose his newly acquired antique Greek vase.
He begins a search, to find a friend, which is very funny.
As Francois rides through Paris in search of his bet-winning friend, he meets, a general knowledge and trivia knowing taxi driver called Bruno.
The two of them seem to meet over and over again, in very funny situations. Is Bruno, destined to be Francois - new best friend? watch the film to find out, as i am not going to spoil it, by telling you.
well worth watching. -

Like Clooney, he seems deeply comfortable with himself, which is why he can play a confirmed bachelor who refuses to see the same woman on two nights running (the 'back-to-back rule') and not come off as...
