i do not understand why this zany and crazy french farce have receive such a low rating . i can only assume the viewer do not know what a farce comedy should be like and also the fact that france invent farce comedy hundred of year ago . one more thing the writer and director give u 2 year prior and . the magnificent jean reno farce the visitor . ( about a knight from century ago bring back to the 21 st century . ) _my wife maurice take place in today modern paris . this movie have all the element of what a farce comedy should be . mistaken identity and unfaithful married and unmarried people and insane and silly situation . and good look set and most of all actor who have perfect timing . also lot of non raunchy sexual situation . i laugh all the way throughout this comic romp . one minor point and and it would have be even funnier be just a wee bit shorter . the best farce should run only about 90 minute and rating half ( out of 4 ) 92 point ( out of 100 ) imdb 9 ( out of 10 ) .
