"Manic and earnest, the meticulously constructed plot whips by at a breakneck pace." - Brent McKnight, Seattle Times

A hectic wedding party held in an 17th century French palace comes together with the help of the behind-the-scenes staff in this charming French comedy about a disgruntled caterer working his last wedding event. His latest gig involves stuffy period costumes for the caterers, a vain, hyper-sensitive singer who thinks he's a Gallic James Brown, and a morose, micromanaging groom determined to make Max's night as miserable as possible. But what makes the affair too bitter to endure is that Max's colleague and ostensible girlfriend, Joisette, seems to have written him off. It's going to be a very long night.
