Synopsis
Le Système Ribadier is a 2013 French comedy film directed by Philippe Lellouche and starring Laurent Lafitte. The movie follows the amusing story of François Ribadier, a man who has a peculiar sleeping method — he hypnotizes himself to get some rest. However, this quirky habit leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings and complications as his wife and those around him get entangled in his hypnotic escapades. Set in Paris, the film is a light-hearted and clever adaptation of a classic French theatrical farce by Georges Feydeau, blending witty dialogue with physical comedy to explore themes of trust, deception, and the hilarious consequences of a secret double life. Laurent Lafitte's charismatic performance adds charm and energy to this humorous tale.

Reviews
Le Système Ribadier received mixed to positive reviews from critics. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of approximately 6.3/10, reflecting generally favorable audience responses appreciating its humorous approach and strong performances, particularly by Laurent Lafitte. Critics praised the movie for its clever adaptation of Feydeau's farce, highlighting its witty script and the well-timed comedic sequences that make it an enjoyable watch for fans of French comedy. However, some reviewers noted that the film's humor might feel somewhat dated or overly theatrical to viewers unfamiliar with stage farce traditions. Rotten Tomatoes, while not hosting an official critics' score due to limited international release, received positive user feedback for its lighthearted tone and fulfilling comedic performances, though some pointed out pacing issues in the second act. Metacritic does not have a compiled score for the film, but French media outlets such as Le Parisien commended the film’s energy and cast chemistry but suggested it may appeal more to niche audiences fond of classic French theatre adaptations. Overall, Le Système Ribadier is recognized as a charming comedy with clever premises but may not resonate universally due to its specific style and cultural references.
