Plot Summary
CHANGE OF PLANS (LE CODE A CHANGÉ), is a delicious comedy of manners from acclaimed Oscar- and César-nominated writer/director Danièle Thompson (COUSIN COUSINE, LA BÛCHE, JET LAG, AVENUE MONTAIGNE). The film centers around a summer dinner party where ten acquaintances, each attempting to mask their own personal troubles, come together for an evening of food, wine and friendship. It's not long before the couples begin revealing their dissatisfaction with their partners and it becomes obvious that they are planning or having affairs. The all-star ensemble cast includes Dany Boon (MICMACS), Emanuelle Seigner (THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY), Karin Viard (PARIS), and Marina Hands (LADY CHATTERLEY).

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Refuses to take anything too seriously, staking out a middle ground between melodrama and farce.
Fresh: A tasty French romantic comedy diversion with just a touch of seriousness thrown into the mix.
Rotten: The next time you're invited to a French dinner party, you might want to give it a pass, if the tedious proceedings in Change of Plans are any indication.
Rotten: A comedy of manners in need of Ritalin.
Customer Reviews
Romantic Comedy
3 stars for this romantic french comedy. The movie is funny at times, sticking to the comedy genre but also regularly switches to a more "serious mode" along the story, inviting the viewer to reflect on social topics like human behaviors, marriage, love and manners. Like many times in French cinema before, the movie uses the theme of dinner parties as a key ingredient, but overall it works well because the mix of comedy, romance and drama is well balanced. It is enjoyable to watch and all the actors are delivering a good performance. Not a buy recommendation though, a rent. Enjoy!
