Après Vous (2003)
Director: Pierre Salvadori
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Poor, put-upon Antoine (Auteuil) bends over backward to make sure his posh Parisian restaurant runs impeccably, to the point where he'll hand-deliver an order even if he's running late for a date with his girlfriend. But what's a highly responsible, well-meaning citizen to do when he comes across a manic-depressive (Garcia) trying to hang himself in the park? Ostensibly a comedy about good intentions gone awry, Après Vous is a muddled mess of a movie, with a doormat of a protagonist trying everything possible to help an appallingly unsympathetic jerk.Author: SG
