Laurie gave me a pair of tickets to use at the Film Festival that is part of the Perth Festival. Last night was my last night in Perth, so they needed using urgently! Mum and I headed out to the Joondalup Pines to take in The Valet (in French “La Doublure“).

I was keen to see this as it’s directed by Francis Veber, the same person who directed The Dinner Game and The Closet, two films that I enjoyed immensely.

Is The Valet as good as The Dinner Game or The Closet? I don’t think so, but it is pretty good. Like all the other Veber films I’ve seen, it watches a lie spiral out of control, in the most hilarious way. The Valet is really not a bad film – it’s genuinely funny, it’s very sweet, it has some nice (but not overbearing) morals, and it’s French. There could be more to complain about!
