Un bonheur n'arrive jamais seul

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

Love at first sight between a pianist afraid of children and a single mother.

Sacha (Gad Elmaleh) makes music for ads by day to make money and plays jazz in clubs at night to satisfy his passion, while Charlotte (Sophie Marceau) runs an art foundation financed by the PR firm of her possessive ex-husband. Completely horrified by the thought of children, Sacha lives loose and free, with no thoughts for tomorrow, from one-night stands to drinks with his friends. Charlotte, meanwhile, is a single mother raising three kids from two different fathers. Without meaning to and having only her ex in common - who also is Sacha's boss - the two meet and it's love at first sight as their lives are turned upside down...

Very romantic comedy by James Huth, starring Gad Elmaleh and a piping hot Sophie Marceau, who seems to have made a pact with the devil to let time stand still. A veritable dessert buffet of sweetness, as tempting as a red velvet cupcake, but too much sugary emotion eventually leads to nausea. Diabetics beware...
