Rentable: The Valet or La Doublure.















Bonjour!  THE VALET is a fun, frothy rental for the weekend.  A Parisian business tycoon named Pierre is caught in a great predicament.  His image was captured by the paparazzi, while leaving for his love nest with his famous mistress, Elena.  She happens to be a tragically, gorgeous model.  Pierre's wife is both angry and hurt, and gives him an ultimatum; the girl or her.  Pierre knows that divorce would be financial disaster as his wife is primary share holder.  Pierre concocts an elaborate scheme, claiming he doesn't know the woman.  Surely, the other man in the photo must be her lover.  Enter your average Joe, or Jean as it were, Francois.  Pierre finds Francois and hires him to pose as Elena's lover until the heat dies down.  Does it?  Watch this tangled mess erupt into laughter and just desserts.  This movie is in French, so be ready for subtitles if you don't speak the language of love!
