Greg founded a company called Alibi.com that creates any type of alibi. With his associate, Augustin, and Medhi his new employee, they devise unstoppable stratagems and stagings to cover their clients. But meeting Flo, a pretty blonde who hates men who lie, will complicate Greg's life, which begins by hiding the true nature of his activity. During the presentation to parents, Greg understands that Gérard, the father of Flo, is also one of their clients.

The Quartile Take

Alibi.com is a light French comedy with a fun central premise — a professional alibi service caught in romantic and family complications. The plot is reasonably clever and the setup generates some genuine comedic momentum, though it follows a fairly predictable rom-com arc once the love interest is introduced. The acting is serviceable and charming from the leads, fitting the breezy tone. Cinematography is functional but unremarkable, typical of mainstream French commercial comedy. The novelty comes from the specific business-premise hook, which gives it a distinctive comedic identity even if the romantic structure is familiar. The ending resolves predictably and without much surprise, wrapping things up neatly but without real punch.
