English titles: Pardon Mon Affaire; An Elephant Can Be Extremely Deceptive
A group of middle-aged friends get together for tennis regularly. Étienne is married and has never been unfaithful; his wife decided late in life to get a Law degree. He is lovestruck by a woman who comes one day to the public service facility he works at. Simon is a doctor with an overbearing mother. Daniel is an unmarried jokester with a secret. Bouli is a chronically unfaithful husband whose wife just left him.
Good comedy. The structure puts Étienne in the foreground, and his friends provide minor subplots. Étienne's adventures are very amusing, but his friends' are not quite on the same level. Overall, it is an agreeable film, with a humorism which avoids vulgarity without being overintellectualized.
