Vénus beauté (institut) (1999)

U.S. Title: Venus Beauty Institute.
Synopsis: 40-ish Angèle works at a beauty parlor. She is afraid to engage in a new relationship because she doesn't trust men anymore and is afraid of being hurt once again. One day a 20-ish stranger declares his love for her.
Appraisal: This is a bland dramatic comedy that is liable to bore its male viewers. Furthermore, sudden crushes are very implausible, which makes it even harder to identify with the story. There are other subplots that are equally bland.
Rating: 46
