A cursory look at Michel Boisron's filmography and you know what you are going to watch:it's pure commercial stuff ,sometimes entertaining ("Le Chemin Des Ecoliers").Always jumping on the bandwagon,he made a "yeah yeah" movie ("Cherchez L'Idole" ),a spy thriller in the wake of James Bond ("Atout Coeur A Tokyo Pour OSS 117"),a fairy tale after Demy's "Peau D' Ane " ("Le Petit Poucet),and so on...."Comment Epouser Un Premier Ministre " has two good leads,Brialy and Pascale Petit .The former plays an attaché ,"working" for a minister;he is also a lady killer,sleeping with all the wives around.One fine day ,an usherette finds a compromising letter and blackmails him in her very special way;she does not want any money,she demands parks and a swimming pool for the suburban high- rise state where she lives with her odd family:her dad grows plants in the apartment.It could have been an effective social satire with a contemporary feel:once they are elected ,the ministers do not care about the people .If the story lampoons an unfair society,it does it cowardly ,in a very bourgeois way ;apart from the girl's family,the characters are all wealthy ,more preoccupied by their daughter's money match or their bright prospects than their fellow men's future.The final scene,complete with popularity-seeking speech ,is almost unbearable.You can watch this,if you want to learn how to get rid of a pain in the neck on the phone.
