Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gad Elmaleh is one of France's most bankable comedians; this was his attempt to pivot toward leading-man romance. The box office said 'nice try.'
The film's title translates directly from a French proverb about happiness requiring effort—ironic given how little effort Sacha puts in initially.
