"MA FEMME S’APPELLE MAURICE" is a romantic comedy full of mistaken identities, disguises and surprises. Chronic gigolo, Georges (Philippe Chevallier), finds himself caught in the squeeze between his wealthy but vicious wife, Marion (Virginie Lemoine), and his vengeful mistress, Emmanuelle (Alice Evans). And with her jealous husband Johnny (Götz Otto) added into the mix, Georges is bounced from one dreadfully comic situation to another. Maurice (Régis Laspalès), a crazy door to door salesman and master of disguise, is determined to extricate Georges from his predicament but, of course, his every effort only plunges Georges deeper into the soup. "MA FEMME S’APPELLE MAURICE" is a Comédie Star production, co-produced by Warner Bros, France 2 Cinema and Seven, co-financed by UFA- Babelsberg. Produced by Igor Sekulic and Jean-Marie Poiré, the film is directed by Jean-Marie Poiré. -- © Comédie Star [More]

Aside from Laspalès's enlivening physical humor, Poiré's forced, formulaic comedy of errors has little to offer.

Slap an ill-fitting dress on an ugly man and you have instant guffaws. That surefire vaudeville tactic guarantees this chaotic French farce a fair share of laughs.

Plods along in slow motion when the action should be zippy and fun.
