This is a great romantic comedy with all the twists and turns of a typical French film. Camille (Karin Viard) is a bored young woman who hangs out at [exotic] clubs and often ends the night passed out from too much liquor and drugs. She has a disfunctional brother with a pregnant wife. One day she meets a socialist worker, Alexis, with whom she rapidly falls deeply in love. After she finds out he is married, she becomes involved with a truck driver and a lesbian. The sex scenes are fun, but not explict. The ending is poignant and sweet.

i have to say that i saw this film with spanish translation and thank God because the whole thing is in French. And i dont understand French because i dont speak it at all. i only speak spanish and english ,but i thought this motion picture was great and really worth my time viewing. Karin Viard, is truly, a fantastic actress who works at her character quite well.She is truly a gifted actress. i think she is very cute too. She plays a woman who falls in love with a married man and finds out that the married man will not leave her wife(teacher) for her. the situation infuriates Camille (Karin Viard)and so she works very hard at persuading him with words and positive actions at the work place that the only person she truly loves is him, that he is the love of her life. the ending is really something, which i feel everyone should see.ending is really sweet and beautiful and one actually wants a happy ending for camille in which it does happen. this motion picture titled "New Eve" which stars Karin Viard should be broadcasted on the major networks of this country (USA). movies such as these have so much feeling and soul.Great motion picture.... Ms. Karin Viard..sensational! buy it, very touching!

The movie is a typical french romantic comedy and this is rather a complement. As usual in such films you can expect deep pchylogical observations, in this case of quite unstable single woman in her thirties (played fabulously by Karin Viard). There is plenty of humor and even sarcasm in the movie. I was rather a little disappointed by the ending (contrary to what some other viewers said here) since I felt that it somehow didn't follow the spirit of the movie - therefore only four stars. But overall, if you like romantic comedies and/or like french movies you will not be disappointed.

... this movie was extremly dry w/ little if any redeming factors.
