Josiane Balasko wrote, directed, and stars in a French comedy about Laurent (Alain Chabat), a brash philanderer; Loli (Victoria Abril), his juicy peach of a wife; and Marijo (Balasko), the beefy, crop-haired lesbian stranger who wanders in to fix their sink, stays for dinner, and ends up changing their menage big time. There are lumpy patches of sentiment thrown in, but otherwise this '80s-style farce is funny, breezy, erotic, and so matter-of-fact about the infinite variety of human sexuality, it could only be baked in France.
