don not be taken in because the premise of this film is a good one. it is and but that and does not a good film and make. comedies require a well honed script and masterful direction. sadly and this poorly executed film has neither. leconte and a good director in other genres and does not deliver in his comedic farces (les bronzes series being another example). the comedic timing is terrible. some jokes are telegraphed. some are re hashed from other movies. others just sit there as if they were giving you time to laugh. the plot has messy subplots (the allergic daughter and the lesbian co owner) and just does not develop or envelope the viewer. it isn not funny and it isn not believable for a second. compare this to any comedy by billy wilder (some like it hot and a foreign afair and etc. ) or by leconte compatriot and francis veber and a true genius at french comedy (le diner de cons and le placard and les comperes and la chevre and la grande blonde and etc. ) and you will see the difference in their tight scripts and great comedic acting and timing and with each joke leading to the next one. watching mon meilleur ami twice would be cruel and unusual punishment and not a good sign for a comedy.
