Critics Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter
Francis Veber's latest offering, remains faithful to the formula -- broad farce leavened with witty dialogue -- that has made him France's most bankable comedy writer-director and a surefire hit with international audiences.
Los Angeles Times
A complete master of cinematic farce, Veber's latest venture, The Valet, makes creating deliciously funny comedy look a lot easier than it has any right to.

Users Reviews

This is a frothy, lighter-than-air middlebrow French comedy. Absurd premise, of course -- ordinary parking valet guy gets thrown together with "topmodel" and they both, you guessed it, learn and grow from the meeting. Completely ridiculous set-up...
This is a quick and airy film. The plot -a bumbling blockhead pays a valet to shack up with his mistress in order to fool his wife while at the same time trying to convince the mistress he is getting divorced - doesn't leave much to the imagination,...
