The translation of filles uniques can be tricky for the non-French speaker as it means literally only girls in the sense of only children as in 'she is an only child'. With that out of the way we're looking at a very enjoyable romp albeit formulaic - two people from diametrically opposed worlds who somehow forge an alliance; think 'Outrageous Fortune' and you'll get the idea. Everyone involved is on top of their game and if one questions the waste of Vincent Lindon in little more than a cameo role we still savor the class he brings to the party. Richard Dreyfus lookalike Francois Berleand turns in his usual reliable schtick and a good time is had by all.
