Before Les Tuche, Jean-Paul Rouve and Olivier Baroux made this lovely rom-com

Tonight I'm sleeping at your place, also with Mélanie Doutey and Kad Merad, returns to TF1 Séries Films.

To serve the theme of the course of cohabitation in the couple, Olivier Baroux called upon the touching duo Melanie Doutey – Jean-Paul Rouve. Result? The romantic comedy Tonight I'm sleeping at your place is perfectly endearing. And very different from the future hits of Baroux and Rouve, The Tuche : at the time, the ex-member of Kad et O signed his first production.

Les Tuche 5 has a release date: God save The Tuche!

For his first attempts behind the camera, Olivier Baroux has called on his long-time sidekick, Kad Meradbut in a supporting role. Another surprise: he did not dive head first into a schoolboy comedy such as Safari or multi-referenced such as But who killed Pamela Rose? (which he later directed the sequel to). No, he preferred to entrust the roles in his romantic comedy, adapted from the comic strip Mr. Jean by Dupuy and Berberian, Melanie Doutey And Jean-Paul Rouvewho form a lovely couple at the turning point in their lives.

Because the story of Tonight I'm sleeping at your place tells the story of the day when, after a year of living in their own homes, Laetitia asked Alex to move in with him. That's when everything went wrong, as the young writer had no desire to experience life together, and his friends, especially his publisher Jacques who was waiting for him to finish his second book, were in complete agreement with him.

When it was released in theaters in 2007, First had appreciated the freshness of this comedy about the midlife crisis:

“For his first film behind the camera, Olivier Barroux (the O of Kad et O), adapts the comic strip “Mr. Jean”by Dupuy and Berbérian. Better written, funnier and more romantic than all the recent comedies about the midlife crisis, Tonight I'm sleeping at your place slips us into a fine mess. A real melancholy emerges from the character of Jean-Paul Rouve, whose chronic inability to commit is verified as much in friendship as in work. A social maladjustment all the more palpable as it rubs up against the radiations of a sunny Mélanie Doutey who smiles everywhere, a real antidepressant made girl, decidedly always perfect in the role of the truly ideal ideal woman. Even the secondary story of friendship between the hero and his editor is not sacrificed on the altar of love. The cherry on the pillow: the little boy in the film, who understands everything faster than everyone else, is not even cheesy.”
