I second the motion:  My New Partner is funny.  Sort of a French THE STING.
It should appeal to a much wider audience than the average French movie.
The production does not have the usual French intellectual aspirations.
It does have an American sense of movie-as-escape and a very affectionate
view of its all-too-human characters.  I give it 3.5/4.

The subtitles are well done, and there is enough time to read them,
so a non-French speaker can follow the dialogue without distraction.
