Romantics Anonymous (Les émotifs anonymes) Movie Guide, Questions, Follow-ups
This short, cute film certainly does not overstay its welcome at 80 minutes run-time. Nor does it offend anyone with its content despite a scene of post-coital, romantic planning.Although simple and very easy to follow in terms of the story, this film does lend itself to some higher-end discussions as my packet will certainly help to flesh out. An array of topics ranging from traditional gender roles to mental health issues and their resulting social stigmas are very quietly called into question

Teachers and parents, "La Doublure" is yet another hilarious and well-condescended film from Francis Veber that you may consider showing especially if your students have already seen others.
