Pascal Chaumeil's romantic comedyUn Plan Parfait will be broadcast on TF1 on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at 9:10pm. Released in 2012, this adventurous love story stars Diane Kruger and Dany Boon in an unlikely pairing of unexpected love at first sight, an express wedding and a trip around the world. The screenplay is based on an original idea: how do you get around a family curse that condemns all first marriages?
The trailer reveals a comedy full of energy, unexpected accidents and absurd situations, in a spirit very close to French screwball comedy.
Un Plan Parfait will be broadcast on TF1 on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at 9:10 pm.
Synopsis: Isabelle, victim of a family curse, wants to avoid the failure of her future marriage. She devises a plan: marry a stranger quickly and divorce him immediately, thus circumventing the bad luck. Her target? Jean-Yves Berthier, a writer for a travel guide, whom she drags into an adventure from Kilimanjaro to Moscow.
The film is based on an atypical couple: Diane Kruger plays Isabelle, a woman determined to make her plan work at all costs, while Dany Boon plays Jean-Yves, a naive, goofy and eccentric bachelor. Their chemistry is based on a clash of personalities, social origins and life goals, all treated in a light, rhythmic tone.
The story features many different settings and situations, with scenes set in Africa, Russia and Paris. This geographical diversity lends a dynamic, exotic dimension to the story, while reinforcing the comic effects of the cultural and emotional confrontation between the two characters.
Directed by Pascal Chaumeil, already behind L'Arnacœur starring Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis, Un Plan Parfait retains its willingness to shake up the traditional codes of the romantic comedy. Between adventures, serial disasters and thwarted feelings, the film offers effective entertainment, supported by rhythmic dialogue and unexpected situations.
The visual style borrows from the codes of the road movie and the international romantic comedy, with attention to scenery, music and character contrasts.
This film will appeal to fans of modern sentimental comedies, unexpected journeys and offbeat characters. Fans of Dany Boon and Diane Kruger will find each in an unusual but complementary register. Audiences who enjoyed L'Arnacœur, Prête-moi ta main or Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain may find a similar tone here, blending humor, romance and poetic offbeatness.
Its accessible structure and steady pace make it ideal for family audiences or those looking for a lighter touch, without falling into caricature or excessive burlesque.
Un Plan Parfait is a romantic comedy directed by Pascal Chaumeil, starring Diane Kruger, Dany Boon and Alice Pol. Released in cinemas in October 2012, the film is based on an original idea: circumvent a love curse by marrying a stranger. From Paris to Kilimanjaro, via Moscow, this adventure comedy combines romance and misunderstandings, with an unexpected duo at the top of the bill.
When it airs on TF1 on July 30 2025 at 9:10pm, you'll be able to (re)discover this lively, light-hearted offering from the popular French cinema of the 2010s.
