Romantic comedies are not my cup of tea... but

Love at First Fight, cloyingly renamed from the more appropriate Les Combattants, is about a couple of opposites, Madeleine, an apocalypse obsessed survivalist and Arnaud, a good-natured slacker.  Smitten by her fierce solitude Arnaud follows Madeleine into a survival boot camp/training session.  His innate pragmatism almost immediately eclipses her know-it-all defiance of military protocol.  In an unexpected turn they need to draw on each other in a  very real quest for survival.  Love results.  Simple and uncomplicated this funny and often biting social commentary whittled away at my initial misgivings and won me over
