"L'événement le plus important depuis que l'homme a marché sur la Lune" is one of only a handful of films to deal with the idea of male pregnancy. It uses the premise to open a window into a possible better world; it has a low-key charm, a light, gentle touch, and even a humanism to it. There are no belly-laughs, but there are plenty of smiles. Two top international stars, Marcello Mastrioianni and Catherine Deneuve, are at their most charming and down-to-earth here. Unfortunately, the ending is a bit of a cop-out and may leave you feeling disappointed, but it does not eclipse the positive qualities of the movie up to that point. *** out of 4.
