ILS SE MARIERENT ET EURENT BEAUCOUP D'ENFANTS

A delicious and revealing ensemble comedy from writer/director Yvan Attal, featuring a stellar all-star cast including the gorgeous Charlotte Gainsbourg, Attal, Emmanuelle Seigner, Alain Chabat, Alain Cohen, Anouk Aimee and Claude Berri.

Like Attal's first film, MY WIFE IS AN ACTRESS, the focus is again squarely on marriage, and all of the associated antics, rational and irrational, of day-to-day life together. Three men in their early forties are taking stock of their lives. Vincent (Attal) and Georges (Chabat) are the married ones, each with a five-year-old child. They feel staid - that society has pushed them into working, getting married and having children. It doesn't make things any easier that the third friend, Fred (Cohen), is a bachelor with a seemingly endless stream of beautiful women. Naturally, however, all Fred dreams about is to live like Vincent and Georges.

It is subsequently revealed that Vincent is seeing another woman, and keeping the affair secret from his friends and from his wife Gabrielle (Gainsbourg). But she's fully aware of it, and quietly hopes things will all work out. That's until she encounters an attractive stranger in the aisles of a music store...

This engagingly modern comedy features lively and winning performances from the talented cast. The sense of fun will resonate with anyone who wants a taste of what others always seem to have: that elusive thing called happiness.
