It's a funny movie about the emergence of a woman from the shadows of her husband. No deep messages here. In fact, at times it is almost farcical. That way it's not a very special movie. That said, I'm glad that it avoided certain cliches:
Overall, an OK movie which raises a few laughs.
- The husband is sleazy but still not a total cad.
- The secretary is an adulterer & an opportunist but is still a good worker.
- The storyline with Depardieu didn't go in the usual direction.
- The potiche doesn't win the majority vote of the board of directors.
Overall, an OK movie which raises a few laughs.
