Change of Plans/Le Code a Changé (2009) - Complications among friends and lovers in Thompson's light dramedy



This under-table poster for Danièle Thompson's Change of Plans adequately conveys the light complication-comedy the film is

QUICK REVIEW:

10 adults gather for a party in Paris. They dine and talk a whole lot and are entangled in various constellations. We follow them and the developments of their relationships over the course of the following year.

Le Code a Changé is a wonderful, little film with snappy dialog, - although perhaps a little bit too brisk at first, as in 'exhaustingly fast.'
It features some excellent French actors, among them Dany Boon (Welcome to the Sticks/Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis (2008)) and Emmanuelle Seigner (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly/Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (2007)).
Change of Plans is a jolly dramedy trifle directed by Monacan Danièle Thompson (Orchestra Seats/Fauteuils d'Orchestre (2006)).
