"Victoria" (Virginie Efira) hasn't her problems to seek! She's a divorced lawyer with custody of two children and a messy and fairly fluid love life. She manages to fall out with her baby sitter and so is even more stretched when the tousled young "Sam" (Vincent Lacoste) - an aspiring lawyer himself, offers to help her out. He will be her cook and bottle washer, mind the children and work with her - all for free! Suspicious, she gives him a week but soon he proves his worth and becomes a bit of an anchor for her increasingly complicated life. These complications emanate from her decision to sue her ex (the father of the children) for using her career as a template for his popular and salacious blog, and also from defending a friend and potential murderer (Melvil Poupaud) in a criminal trial that also involves another friend, too. The scene now set, this could have been quite a good scenario for Efira and the charismatic Lacoste, but the writing really lets it down. The story lurches from frying pan to not very humorous fire just once too often, the romantic melodrama is all just a bit passé and were it not for an outstanding effort from a Dalmatian with taste and a chimp adept with an iPhone, the humour would be distinctly lacking. The odd calamity in the plot would have been welcome, but here there are just too many implausibles and not enough comedy. Laure Calamy has a bit of fun as her defending counsel - French law courts are always so much more flamboyant and lively than British ones, but sadly she's not on screen often enough to make much difference. It's watchable enough, but just not that special.
