Is everyone in France having an affair? It certainly seems like it in Daniele Thompson’s latest comedy. In Change of Plans, a group of friends gather for a dinner party, seemingly all of them either about to start an affair, in the midst of one, or about to end one, sometimes with each other!

With a certain amount of malice, Change of Plans could be compared to a telenovela because it contains all the typical ingredients of the genre - relationships, dealing with love affairs, infidelity, family conflicts, friendships, cruel life tests, and even unexpected shocking twists. However, it must be emphasized that the film is significantly better written, directed, and acted than a telenovela. Film viewers expected a comedy, as was evident from their reactions to individual scenes, but Change of Plans is certainly not a typical comedy. Tragic moments also appear in it, although the overall atmosphere is undeniably positive and the story inexorably leads to a happy ending. Ten acquaintances who meet at a party at the beginning, after a year, take stock and move toward mutual understanding and forgiveness. Overall impression: 65%.
