About Chercher le garçon
On New Year's Eve, accompanied by a bottle of champagne, Emile, 35 years old, signs up to Meet Me, a famous Internet dating site, with a good resolution for the new year: to find love. There are many men on Meet Me: cynics, comics, a few oddballs, and even great romantics. Emilie is far from imagining what is waiting for her in real life.
Directed by Dorothée Sebbagh, Chercher le garçon leans on a strong ensemble — Sophie Cattani, Moussa Maaskri, Gérard Dubouche — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2012.
