"The film follows this unlikely pair as they comically undertake a crash-course in friend making. Bruno's curriculum is based on the "three S's": Sociable, Smiling, Sincere. It's hilarious to watch the hapless Francois as he tries to make friends—but mostly just creeps people out...Finally, Francois begins to see that Bruno—his affable, ever-helpful sidekick—is the best friend he's been missing … right under his nose.
Though the film is a comedy and a crowd-pleaser of the best kind, it does not shy away from hinting at deep and complex issues about human interaction, love, and friendship. The thing that plagues Francois (and, as we find out, Bruno too) is the inability to hold and maintain a deep, unconditional relationship with a fellow human. It's a problem that we all face, to some degree.
