4.0 out of 5 stars (3.5 STARS) French Romantic Comedy with a Difference
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013
"A Happy Event" ("Un heureux événement") is a French romantic comedy with a difference. The story centers on a young couple, Barbara (Louise Bourgoin, "Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec"), a graduate student of philosophy, and Nicola (Pio Marmaï), a movie director wannabe working at a rental DVD shop. They fall in love with each other (with a lot of references to famous movies), and start living together. Then Barbara becomes pregnant.

Based on a book written by Eliette Abecassis, "A Happy Event" deals with maternity or motherhood, topic that is rarely considered as a central theme of a romantic comedy. It works, and the fast-paced film is notable for its detailed descriptions of what happens to a woman when she has a baby, which are often realistic and expressed with light-hearted touch. The film (ironically titled, of course) is not all about "happy events," but even the more serious moments are offset by sense of humor that arrives in the most unexpected fashion.

But what makes the film special is the chemistry between the stars Louise Bourgoin and Pio Marmaï. Though most supporting characters are stock types (with an exception of Barbara's mother Claire played by Josiane Balasko, whose complicated relationship with her daughter is one of the film's best assets), the young couple Barbara and Nicola are credible and likable. The second half of the film is a bit weak, covering more familiar territories, but "A Happy Event" is funny, honest (including some nudities) and often insightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A-D-O-R-E-D (will hold close to my heart forever)
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015
I found this movie on Netflix not too long before I became pregnant. I fell in love with it and watched it SO much until Netflix removed it like it does with many movies. (SAD DAY)
That's when I came here to buy it.
To me, the movie is more real than any other pregnancy movie. It's not your typical american "meet handsome man, fall in love, both have good family lives and careers, get married, have baby, happily ever after, the end" story. In fact, it's quite the opposite! But even in the end, it leaves you with a satisfied curiosity. Hopeful. Pleased.
After going through pregnancy and raising my own son, I feel it connects more with real-life situations and emotions. Doing things, crazy things, out of love and lust. Struggling through your consequences, and in the end, accepting life as it is and feeling happy and hopeful for the future.
Not only that, but the actors in this movie are stunning. Louise Bourgoin shows perfect emotion in the situations she faces throughout the whole movie. As does, Pio Marmai and everyone else. It was like watching a real-life couple on the screen. Great chemistry.
All in all, if you haven't seen this movie, you should. Simply said.

The DVD got to me in reasonable time. This film is a reasonably good love/comedy drama from France. The bonus for me is seeing beautiful Louise Bourgoin as I am a fan. Some nude scenes and erotic moments, too. In French with subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Muss für "erste" Eltern
Reviewed in Germany on December 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
Dieser Film fasst alles zusammen, was es über die ersten Monate mit dem ersten Kind zu sagen gibt. Achtung, wer noch kein Kind hat, oder diesen Film nicht kennt: Spoiler-Alarm :-)

Es ist - wie im wahren Leben auch - alle klischeehaft. Das totale Glück der großen Liebe, die erste gemeinsame Wohnung, die voller Freude renoviert wird, und als Krönung des Ganzen steht auch noch ein Baby ins Haus. Mit Fortschreiten der Schwangerschaft schleicht sich schon ein Hauch von Ernüchterung ein, und dann - WHAM - das Kind ist da. Und alles, was man jemals kannte, und was man jemals erwartet hätte, kann man einfach mal vergessen. Mehr möchte ich absichtlich nicht verraten, ein paar Erwartungen (Illusionen?) muss man einfach erhalten...

Selten gibt es so eine realistische Darstellung dieser Zeit, die trotz ziemlich schonungsloser Ehrlichkeit nicht resigniert, sondern irgendwie doch zuversichtlich endet. Wie im wahren Leben auch :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD : Un heureux évènement
Reviewed in France on March 7, 2012
Verified Purchase
J'ai commandé le DVD "Un heureux évènement" le samedi et le mardi il était déjà dans ma boîte aux lettres, livraison très rapide. Si je l'ai acheté c'est parce que j'avais lu le livre, vu le film au cinéma et que j'avais été conquise. Il me le fallait. Le prix étant abordable c'est comme ça que le DVD s'est retrouvé chez moi.

Je trouve que le film est très bien monté, d'un genre nouveau car ici la grossesse n'est pas idéalisée, ce n'est pas comme dans un conte où la vie de papa-maman-bébé est rose. Humour joie, tristesse, gravité; nous sommes confrontés à la transformation physique et psychique de la femme enceinte, à ses envies, ses émotions.
On voit le couple avant, pendant et après la grossesse, la relation avec les amis, les parents, la sphère médicale, et ce qu'il advient après lorsque bébé est là. Non ce n'est pas toujours facile la vie de parents, il y a des hauts et des bas.
Je suis juste un peu déçue par la fin, je reste sur mon appétit je dirai, j'aurais aimé en savoir plus.

Je ne suis pas maman mais travaille auprès des enfants au quotidien et ce film est juste par rapport à ce que je vois ou ai pu voir. Et contrairement à ce qu'on peut dire, à chaque fois que je vois le film, ça me donne envie d'avoir un enfant.

A découvrir si vous ne connaissez pas encore.
