Rolling to You

Rolling to You (Tout le monde debout, 2018) is a French romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Jocelyn is a smug businessman who treats seduction like a sport. To win over a woman he fancies, he fakes being a wheelchair user. Then the trap snaps shut: Florence, the woman he falls for, genuinely cannot walk, and his little lie suddenly has to last.

Franck Dubosc directs and stars, aiming most of the jokes squarely at his own character's vanity. Alexandra Lamy plays Florence, a concert pianist who keeps the film from sliding into pure farce — under the laughs sits a sharp point about how a lie eats away at the person telling it. Gérard Darmon supplies the dry paternal sniping. It's a comedy of escalating embarrassment that stays funny right up to the moment you start cringing on Jocelyn's behalf. One for viewers who like their humor tangled up with a little guilt. Stream Rolling to You (2018) online on iFILM.
