Le bal des casse-pieds (1992)

 Henri, a veterinarian, has his first son. His wife leaves him some time later. He finds a new love.

The synopsis above does not really describe the film, which consists of the protagonist being serially annoyed by everyone he meets: his relatives, his customers, his friends, even the people who are supposed to serve him. The pursuit of that theme is carried out very conscientiously but, alas, the result, though far from unwatchable, is eminently contrived and not often funny.

Rating: 36
