Superficial adaptation of 'Le Roman De Jim', the bestseller based on true facts by Pierric Bailly about the relationship between Aymeric Bailly [Karim Leklou] and his godchild for whom he takes on the role of father for a long time. Aymeric is 22 and has two intense relationships and a two-year prison sentence behind him when he runs into childhood friend Florence [Laetitia Dosch]. Florence is heavily pregnant, but her boyfriend has abandoned her. When Flo gives birth to a son, Aymeric takes on the role of father. A close bond develops between Aymeric and Jim [Eol Personne] that comes to an abrupt end. Episodic drama relies largely on voice-over to convey the feelings of the main character. It is a coming and going of characters and it never seems to become exciting or interesting. Fortunately, the acting could be better, but this is certainly not memorable.

A rather plodding film that gets going slowly. And of course, this isn't a comedy at all. The story is simple: a man with a criminal past (about which we're told nothing) who's more or less lost, becomes attached to a pregnant woman and starts caring for her and the child. He develops a strong bond with the little boy, who sees him as his real father. That ends when the biological father shows up and the man is dumped. How much drama could you ask for? But he bravely pulls through. Only, as mrklm rightly observes, it just doesn't get exciting or interesting. Although you gradually start to sympathize with the man. A cautious pass.
