I think the writer of this movie tried to "Americanized" those silly drama movies that sometimes we watch just because we do not have anything better to do! And the way that Jeremie handles his sexuality coming form an opened gay with 10 year relationship to change from gay to straight is out of reality. Also they tried to make it fun and give an alternative way to see this drama in a soft way where everybody -inclusive Antoine- accepted the change of sexual preference of his fiancee.The more I was watching in the next scenes I was considering this movie as fake with no substance at all to enjoy.
I understand when the writer and directors want to make a twist in the story but this, as I said before, was completely annoying for any gay that has been through the journey of accepting and tolerance and this movie not only brings confusion to this subject with a sample of emptiness in the whole story!

I wouldn't call it comedy but drama. It's nothing funny or smart in showing internalized homophobia of main character. I don't buy this story. No matter how much producers claim to be "neutral", they are, in fact, endorsing the "pray away the gay" bulls**t by giving it airtime and credence.This is dangerous and I am very disappointed for the end of the movie. It sounds fake from beginning to end. The directors of this movie, want us to believe that a gay man can live a life of a straight person if only he meets the right woman, which seems to be the point of this comedy. But it's not true. It's absurd and nonsense. And it's not funny. The story is not only hard to believe, it's hard to watch too.

Amazing movie for open minded people only because it takes some experience to understand what it talks about; true love, life, lgbt-ism... Family links, mutual understanding, tolerance.

I am a gay man and it's the first time I rate a movie. The whole idea is preposterous and homophobic. It just doesn't happen like that and the concept of this absurd undermines the inner struggle gay men have to understand and embrace their feelings. You can't "cure" and straighten yourself up. Pure nonsense and sad.

I've mentioned so many times before that I don't generally enjoy gay-themed movies. I decided to give this a go due to Franck Gastambide.
What started out as a fun gay comedy quickly transformed into the very reason why I don't watch gay films. This is yet another gay-themed movie about a confused gay man. Yawn. Need I say more...?
The film's lead, Jeremie (Pio Marmai) is not a likable character at all, and actually a complete, confused, spineless idiot. He makes mistake upon mistake, with questionable actions. His character doesn't suit the part of someone who owns a successful company. Franck Gastambide steals the show as Charles - the film's best and most interesting character by far. Gastambide is also the best actor, and the only reason I endured this until the end.
Speaking of the end, surely this ending won't appeal to gay people?? I found the ending completely unsatisfying.
Would I watch it again? Definitely not.

I love French movies, and I should have waited more comments on IMDb in order not to burst my "french movies are great" bubble. Anyhow it's about a guy who is getting married soon to his boyfriend. But one morning he wakes up aside a very attractive girl. then in number of "fortunate" events she gets drown into his life and company. That provokes a ball of lies that's getting bigger with every moment. A great help with that comes out of his business partner who is a classic "I'm all about looks, but I will fall in love in someone less pretty" cliché. At some point the ball of lies brakes and truth comes out. Every character in the movie just represent a series of clichés.

The story was pretty appalling and totally uncomfortable. A gay guy turning straight after a one night stand with a girl 👀
In the middle of all this, Camille Cottin is great, as usual.
