This is a parody of romantic comedies. It is the story of Thomas and Florence. Thomas had a bad breakup and, at age 35, is occuppied mainly with Star Trek (the film includes a Klingon wedding), and video games. Florence became a single mother at 17, and became a schoolteacher. She meets Thomas shopping for toilet paper with her daughter (Soko).
Note the black Star Trek uniform worn by Gilles Lellouche. I have seen every Trek movie and episode ever produced, and I do not recall a black uniform in any of them.
For some reason all the vocals in the soundtrack are in English, although the dialogue is in French. The music is good, though, and the theme was written by Soko (The Dandy Cowboys).
The French title translates as "My life is not a romantic comedy" but the English title of the film is "It Had to be You".
