I like 'loser meets beauty' stories, and I also like most of Tommy Jaud's books. They often revolve around some kind of looser who finally overcomes his awkwardness after his gf broke up. While the main characters in the books are usually relatable (often because of the many references to pop culture and real events), and you want them to get better and succeed, in the movie this role is played by Oliver Pocher but in such a stubborn and even hateful way that I just wished him the worst.
In the books the social failures of the main character usually happen because he doesn't know better, or out of some slapstick situation, but in the movie the main character is simply very unsympathetic, rude and simply put not a good friend. It's not the poor nerd who falls in love with an unreachable women, it's a rude stalker who just finds some new victim.
Most other characters don't seem to notice what an unsocial person he is. Even stuff that could be deemed cute and funny in the book turn angry and spiteful in Pochers interpretation.
Pocher probably was used for this movie due to his (then) rising popularity, and if this performance ever worked, it has aged terrible.
