The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing the French comedy "The Valet", at the Petoskey District Library, Carnegie Building. Donations are appreciated.
A light, zippy farce from Francis Veber, "The Valet" is another masterful comic escalation of lies and pretenses. When a billionaire gets photographed next to his supermodel mistress, he tries to persuade his wife that the supermodel must be with the other man in the picture--a parking valet who just happens to be walking by. Naturally, the billionaire has to follow through by setting the valet and the supermodel up as a couple, lest his wife's detective uncover the truth. The valet agrees, but not because he wants to cozy up to the beautiful girl; he hopes that the money he'll be paid will win the heart of the bookstore owner he's in love with. The sneaky machinations of the characters multiply and cascade with delicious results, particularly the hapless envy of the valet's best friend. Francis Veber's intricate and lively plot, tick-tock timing and variety of unusual characters make "The Valet" a hilariously good time.
