My Best Friend

In this charming comedy, Francois (Daniel Auteuil) is an arrogant antique dealer who comes to the realization that his closest acquaintances don't like him and he has no friends. His business partner Catherine (Julie Gayet) makes him a bet: If he can produce his best friend, she will let him keep the massive Greek vase he acquired that afternoon. If not, it's hers. When calls to unlikely contacts turn fruitless, Francois implores Bruno (Dany Boon), a truly likable cabbie, to teach him the secrets of lovability. Directed and co-written by legendary French filmmaker Patrice Leconte (Intimate Strangers, Man on the Train, The Hairdresser's Husband).
