Un couple épatant (2002)

English titles: An Amazing Couple; Trilogy: Two.

Synopsis (mild SPOILERS): Alain finds that he has a heart problem and schedules a surgery. Although his doctor assures him it is not something serious, his hypochondria makes his fear of dying escalate. He hides his condition from his wife and thus is obliged to tell a lie to her in order to justify his coming home late on the day of his medical appointment. She easily discovers he is lying and suspects he has a secret; she asks a policeman acquaintance to spy on him. When Alain finds that he is being spied on, he in turn begins to suspect foul play from his wife and begins to concoct the wildest theories to explain her behavior.

Appraisal: Mediocre comedy. This film and Cavale (2002) have intersecting plots.

Rating: 35
