Plot summary
Julien Monnier has a serious problem. Though he's a brilliant couples counselor, he can't keep a woman in his life for more than two weeks. Indeed, ever since his childhood, Julien jinxes every woman who falls in love with him. But it's not just any small jinx. It's the kind that sends you to the hospital several times a week, that destroys your professional life or that turns your friends into enemies. Julien is strictly speaking a true black cat for women. Joanna Sorini will soon learn this at her expense the day she meets him. A career that's just taking off, a love life that finally seems to be taking a good turn, all that may just change.

Has heart and a personal loss and struggle
Rather predictable
Julien is a counselor for married couples. He is good at his job, and the only problem is that what he succeeds putting right for other people, he can't put right for himself. Then, the classical thing happens: in his practice, he meets the girl he fell in love with, and he spends the night with her. Only, since he means bad luck for every girl he meets, he is convinced that this relationship is going to be the same as all the others. So he gives up, because he knows he is to blame for her bad luck. Inevitably, the ending of the story is known beforehand. No need to put this in writing here. The only thing is, that the story doesn't contribute a lot to the classical pattern we all know through films we have seen time and again. It is not so much bad acting, the whole thing is utterly flimsy. As my teachers would say at school: you tried hard, you really wanted to make something good, but you failed halfway. So the score is 6 out of 10, for all the trouble you went through. Which is the rating of this movie.
