    A very funny movie, and one of few factors arguing against the eradication of everything French from the planet. I highly suggest you see this film if it's in your area (look for it at the theatres that cater to the art film crowd).

    Gerard Depardieu was great, as were the other main characters. Whose names I can't remember.
    Basically the plot is that this incredible dull guy is about to lose his job, and his neighbor comes up with a plot to help him keep his job: convince his company that he's gay. The company, having a large homosexual consumer base, is then afraid to fire him and risk pissing off the gay community. It's a great look at the effects of politcal correctness on modern life.

    And, I will venture to say it was one of the best scripted films I've seen all year.

    Patrick, I think you would especially like this one, given your workplace.
