MON MEILLEUR AMI (MY BEST FRIEND)



Inside our heart it’s very often come up the questions about friendship. Do we have a friend? Are we have friends enough? And do our friends is good to the other people. Seeing My Best Friend, that questions are coming up again. The idea is come from the TV show Who Wants to Be A Millionaire where one of the option is asking a friend. From the tagline, we actually already seen where the film is lead to. “It takes a lifetime to learn the meaning of friendship…Francois has 10 days.” Francois (Daniel Auteluil) an art gallery care taker. Describes as a man that appreciate things more than the living things around him. Until he have been asked by people if he has a friend?. Then Francois who had the high pride answer that he had a friend, of course. Something that will be not to believe by some one who asked the question even his own daughter. The next part is they got Francois on a bet to bring the friend that meant by him. The antique porcelain is the stake. A thing that is very important to Francois.

There is Bruno (Dany Boon), a cab driver who has the likeable face also nice personality. Bruno is describe a person that warm, sociable also has sensitive personality. A really different character with Francois. Beside that Bruno is describe knowing a lot of things and obsessed to follow the TV quiz. And the next is predictable which is both character is met. When Francois is asking Bruno how to make a friend.

It’s sad but interesting to see how Francois is seeing people that have qualified to be his friend. Contrary he got nothing but harsh word.

How he tried to be like Bruno, released his stiffness and try to melt like Bruno. They are actually had have the friendship but they seem don’t realize it. Until something is happening, something that untied their relationship. Francois isn’t have any friend and people is unwilling to hang with him. Realize that, Francois is begin to make changes and work on Bruno’s obsession which is present the Who Want to Be A Millionaire Quiz as the payback. The audience’s emotion is mixed by the story teller which present a relieved ending.

An enjoyable film, not because the theme that wrap by comedy but also the fit of the chemistry fro both main role. Daniel Auteuil is so well playing cool and arrogant person, like on his previous performance on Chache. Dany Boon with the innocent face is able to be the catalyst to Daniel Auteuil’s character.

The film will be more infatuated when we see it with our friends. And through the film, we can see that the strong friendship is come out naturally and unconditionally without noticed. The hard part is how we can survive our friendship. 3/5.
