Plot Summary
MY BEST FRIEND stars the great Daniel Auteuil as a middle-aged antiques dealer with a stylish apartment and a fabulous life. But at a dinner with his dearest acquaintances, he is blindsided by the revelation that none of them actually likes him. He's arrogant and self-centered, and they don't believe he knows the meaning of friendship. Business partner Catherine makes him a bet: if he can produce a best friend, she’ll let him keep the massive Greek vase he acquired that afternoon on the company tab. If not, it's hers. Francois tears through his address book, trying to shoehorn an increasingly unlikely series of contacts into the all-important role. He encounters a big-hearted cabbie named Bruno (France’s beloved star Dany Boon) whose chatty, lowbrow ways grate against Francois's designer temperament, but he covets the other man's easy way with people.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: One looks to Leconte for some of the finest, most sophisticated and compassionate filmmaking coming out of France, not for a situation comedy.
Fresh: Patrice Leconte has taken a story about male friendship, in all its posturing and potential vulnerability, and turned it into a light, smart, crowd-pleasing comedy.
Fresh: The tone of the movie...saves it from its preposterous plot.
Fresh: Some of the best French films of the past 20 years have been made by Patrice Leconte.
Customer Reviews
Very Well Acted
This film has a great cast and is very well acted but a rather flimsy premise. It is funny and heartwarming. Surprisingly Dany Boon is almost serious in this film. I took a chance on it and was glad.
Mon Meilleur Ami
Mon Meilleur Ami, or My Best Friend, is not only a humorous tale of a man searching for friend, but also a story of how to treat people.
Ok but
OK but there is some LBGT propaganda. That is unnecessary on this film - i guess there most have been some political pressure.
