(1 - 14) of 14 OFCS Rating: 79% Fresh Page   1   "This is the type of dramatic comedy that often gets labelled as pleasant, which means that it is not laugh-out-loud funny and inoffensively hobbles along to an ending that could have been spotted miles away."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 2.5/4 "Lightweight but generally engaging..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B "There's no great surprise in where this Odd Couple pairing is headed, but...it'sc quite enjoyable to tag along on the journey."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A breezy and whimsical French film about friendship."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Infected with a joie de vivre that renders the project far more than a stock buddy picture."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth "Patrice Leconte's latest is a little light and a little telegraphed, but still quite enjoyable."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/5 "Startlingly, the film embraces male friendship without any sign of a wink or a nod to gay panic."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B- "My Best Friend's biggest pitfall is its script, which seems to have been built backwards from the hook of a game show's 'lifeline'...The actors do the heavy lifting"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1.5/4 "Leconte is mainly drawn to sitcom scenarios, which might have been a reasonable tack to take if his material weren't so cautious and staid."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "Leconte takes a light-handed approach to a surprisingly serious topic in this charming comedy about the isolated nature of urban life."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "It isn't always believable, but it is entertaining and funny, with an edge to it."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 6/10 "French superstar Daniel Auteuil reunites with Cesar-nominated co-star Dany Boon from their previous sit-com "The Valet" to give light hearted comedy another try, with the same mixed results."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 4.5/5 "So begins the dance for Patrice Leconte’s film that, in the tradition of Norman McLaren (cross-reference below) is more a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society."   Film Threat   S.
