Do you want to immerse yourself in the plot of a romantic comedy? If you plan to spend a few hours in front of the TV tonight, you will find many films that are right for you. In particular, we point out a beloved title such as Che mess Bridget Jones (with the magical trio composed by Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant).
And then What Women Want (with Helen Hunt, Marisa Tomei and Mel Gibson), but also to be discovered as 20 years younger (starring Virginie Efira and Pierre Niney).

Noticing that her colleagues’ attitudes towards her have changed dramatically and realizing that having a boyfriend younger than her can help promote her, Alice is forced into an unlikely staging.
