In this hit French comedy, jobless loner Eddie Vuibert (Richard Anconina) gets a lucky break when a rich Jewish entrepreneur mistakes him for a Jew and gives him a sweet job in the Parisian fashion district. Awash in champagne, fancy cars and beautiful women, Eddie finds himself hanging by a thread as he fakes his way through Sephardic culture and the fashion industry. Scene-stealing José Garcia co-stars as Eddie's clowning pal Serge.
This is a classic comedy, in France. The sense of humor, the inside look into the Jewish community in the Sentier, the business, the wittiness, and the feeling the actors had a good time. It has a beautiful love story, the soundtrack was a blast... Of course, fifteen years have past and some of the fashion is outdated but overall, it is still a funny movie to watch. Now I wonder how New Yorkers for instance would receive the movie, or actually anybody outside of France...
