In a delightful mix of the smartness of The Truman Show with the slapstick laughs of Knocked Up comes -- Mr Average. With the polls tightening the incumbent president (Thierry Lhermitte) hires a marketing company to help him win his re-election. Unsure of what to do, the marketing company picks the winner of the latest TV sensation as their guy. Problem is he doesn t know it. So they start following this hot game show winner and bumbling idiot Jalil (Khalid Maadour), helping him get a plush apartment, providing him with a va-va-voom girlfriend, Claire (Caroline Dhavernas) and watch as the sparks fly! But what happens is that this Mr. Average becomes Mr. Stud with all the hilarious consequences. (official distributor synopsis)
