Arlette (1998) *
A really bad comedy about an American gigolo (Lambert) seducing a French waitress (Balasko) who doesn't know that she'll soon inherit a casino in Las Vegas. This is Gallic humor at its most cruel and unpleasant. Anyone poking fun at fat and ugly old maids, should at least try to make it funny. But this film is both offensive and boring.
