Reviews

"A satisfying contraption of twists, missteps, and blithe repartee that produces old-fashioned, honestly earned guffaws."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"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."

   - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"If you love to hate the superrich, The Valet, a delectable comedy in which the great French actor Daniel Auteuil portrays a piggy billionaire industrialist facing his comeuppance, is a sinfully delicious bonbon."

   - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"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."

   - Bernard Besserglik, The Hollywood Reporter

"This sublime French farce reminded me most of Billy Wilder."

   - J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader
