Movie synopsis: Alex (Romain Duris) is a professional gigolo with a difference He is not trying to get the ladies into bed. He just wants them to stop doing what they are doing, like running off with Mr Wrong. And other people are paying him. His team consists of his sister Melanie (Julie Ferrier) and her goofy husband Marc (Francois Damiens), an ace with gizmos. Hollywood movies of this ilk indulge in fabulous loft conversions and houses to die for. This crew are in Monte Carlo, with a shed load of expensive gadgets.
Alex’s golden rule is to stay away from happy. Don’t break up a marriage if it is going well and don’t stop a wedding if the future bride and groom are besotted with each other. In the case of Juliette (Vanessa Paradis) he makes an exception because he owes 30,000 euros to a gangster who has sent a Serbian giant to warn, “If you don’t pay up, your own mother won’t recognise your face.” Juliette’s millionaire father hires him for 50,000 euros to stop Juliette’s wedding to oh-so-rich, terribly nice Jonathan (Andrew Lincoln). Alex needs the money and so takes the job. But Juliette loves Jonathan. And the wedding’s in a week. It’s going to be a toughie!
