This movie is typical of Lelouch's movies. We find in this movies most of his favorites actors/actresses, beginning with all his wives (current and former) and several of the greatest french actors, including Fabrice Luchini and Gerard Darmon who do - as usual - a great job. Other actors are good also but the show is stolen by these two, especially Luchini who creates a whole scene under a tent in the mountain that was clearly not forecasted.
This is a movie about coincidences, about love, about love's fools. This is a pure entertainment that makes you laugh but also makes you cry by moment. We find out all Lelouch's signatures touch, including some dreaming philosophy, lot of great talkative exchanges and a scenario that just doesn't want to go anywhere else than to offer moments of lifes, as intuited by the title of the movie ("Tout ca...pour ca" is a famous quote in French meaning something like "All this... just for that??").
If you like to dream, if you don;t need to be shown an "american" plot with good guys, bad guys, princess to save and solid morale at the end, you will like this movie and have a truly great time watching it. If, on the contrary, you need to be taken care of and you don;t like to let your brain go with the story, pass this movie. It is just a refreshing breeze of life's moments, it does not intend to deliver a message.
