Honey, I'm in Love (French: Le Grand départ) is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Claude Meunier and released in 2008.[1] The film stars Marc Messier as Jean-Paul Cardin, a successful surgeon who, following the breakup of his marriage to Céline Demers (Guylaine Tremblay), must juggle his commitments to his children and his new relationship with younger artist Nathalie ().[2]
The film's cast also includes Patrick Drolet and Sophie Desmarais as Jean-Paul's children Guylain and Myriam, as well as Rémy Girard, Louis-José Houde, Catherine Trudeau and Cynthia Wu-Maheux in supporting roles.

The film received two Jutra Award nominations at the 11th Jutra Awards in 2009, for Best Actress (Tremblay) and Best Sound (Patrick Rousseau, Marie-Claude Gagne, Louis Gignac).[5]
