Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Its tepid satire of art world pretensions culminates with a visual dirty joke that is mildly amusing but still not worth the wait.
Fresh: Whether this is an argument for or against marriage probably depends on the viewer's own experience.
Fresh: "My Worst Nightmare" isn't great, but it isn't apologizing for anything, either. Plus, I laughed out loud at least three times.
Fresh: No one loves a broad comedy like the French, but Gallic touches of restraint tend to keep such light entertainment pleasing rather than blundering.
Customer Reviews
Slightly disappointing
Although I am a big fan of Benoit Poelvoorde (also like the other actors), I have to say I was a bit disappointed by his performance as well as the movie. Overall, it is relatively pleasant to watch but the only 3 or 4 funny moments are already showed in the trailer so do not expect any surprise on the comedy side. For the rest, i.e. the vast majority, it is actually a pretty boring family drama around the theme of marriage and parenthood which falls unfortunately into several cliches...I was hoping for more and I wanted to like it but it is at the very best a rental.
