"Above all, Laurent Stocker is moving into the role of a great shy, confirming gets on theater games. His subtle game and his teammates contribute to the special, generous quality of this film. "

" From time to time a movie appears on the screens, which is different from the others and its uniqueness seems to be in something that is gone out of fashion: namely, the fact that it makes you happy [ ... ] This is the case, cooperation is one less alone ' the case. "

"She has momentum, this well-written comedy, and in each image is a lot of love. "

" Camille, played by Audrey Tautou, is a gifted illustrator. It takes place in a seedy nobility shoot shelter and enchants even the rough- lodger, a gifted chef. Claude Berri's film adaptations gaukelt interest in the precarious social situation of his characters only provisionally, everything seems conceived and superficial and marked by an unpalatable sweetness. "

" Sympathetic comedy with melodramatic trains as love letter to life, but also not shying away from kitsch and clichés. "
