Synopsis

A madcap comedy about a famous actress who gets more than she bargains for when she goes on a secret vacation in the mountains trying to cure her nymphomania.

Alexandre Darou and Aurore Lalu are a famous acting couple. Under the pseudonym of “Mr and Mrs Go” they escape to an isolated valley in the Pyrenees, arriving in the secrecy of night. Alexandre has chosen this hide-away in the hope that it will cure Aurore of her rampant nymphomania and, with any luck, breathe new life into their relationship…

A ridiculous little souffle from the brothers Larrieu. The film's first half hour is quite charming than loses itself for a good hour in lame farce. However the final little twist is somewhat charming but poorly dubbed. Darroussin quite game and Azema overacts (as usual). Stick to "To Paint or Make Love" or their latest "Les derniers jour du monde" instead.

So ridiculous it borders on the edge of Dadaism. It's also very very funny.

Forty minutes into this I began checking my e-mail. At fifty minutes I stopped watching altogether. A man in a bear suit? Come on. The one scene I did enjoy was when the pair were led up a mountain to enjoy the view, and the fog was so thick they couldn't see. Then came the sleet. I liked that.
