Metacritic reviews

Veber's giddy social comedy The Closet finds more delicious, chortling fun in the spectacle of obsequious hypocrisy than any movie I've seen in ages.

Funny? This one is. It's also sweet and thoughtful.

More sweet than savage, this amiable farce creates laughs with old-pro efficiency.

Auteuil and Depardieu spar hilariously, and writer-director Francis Veber, following "The Dinner Game," offers another delicious treat.

Auteuil is as charming as ever, with a surprising aptitude for physical humor that keeps the tone cheerfully light and the laughs plentiful.

Passes the time pleasantly and has a few good laughs.

By the end we are left with a mildly amusing comedy and the lingering memory of a sterling cast that deserved better material.

Tumbles happily into every pitfall that lines its well-trodden path.

It's amusing more often than it isn't, largely because the cast is so nonchalant and, well, French about everything.

Veber, also responsible for "The Dinner Game," apparently has a finger on the pulse of French audiences and Gallic-minded Americans, but there's just not a lot of freshness in this Closet.
