Tuck away your notions of morality and monogamy to enjoy this frisky conjugal caper. Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere are back as lascivious buddies, but their antics are much less violent than the bedroom games they played in "Going Places" (1974). Here they alternate nights with Depardieu's wife in hopes that she will conceive.
Writer/director Bertrand Blier is ruthless in his castration of the male ego. While "Going Places" exalted the amorous promiscuity and brutality of its two leads. This romp derides the macho efforts of the "husbands." They have the wife's best interest in their hearts. They even commit a crime to please her, but they come up unfruitful. Maybe us guys SHOULD get out our handkerchiefs.
