Mixture of French/English dialogue is good. Story isn't

LOL, mais bien sure, tout est possible! All the clichees and preprogrammed ideas that one can imagine in connection with americans in france and the french and their customs, adultery, upper society etc. Plus a Kelly bag and a very very ugly old pain... (read more)

predictable, uninteresting, poorly developed characters, bad acting, circular story...this movie had a good potential with a good cast of american and french actors but the result is just atrocious

This is a movie I kind of want to see but will probably never Netflix. Unless someone tells recommends it.

Fun to see American and French actors interacting with each other. They point out old stereotypes and sometimes break them. I don't remember much about the story, but it wasn't exactly what you would expect...

Breezy pleasure, complete with cultural commentary that never quite stings.

Feels like a period film in clumsy modern-day dressup.

If you are familiar with France and have a love-hate affair with that most cryptic of nations, you are likely to enjoy the movie from moment to moment, whether or not it adds up for you.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Entertaining as an adult romantic comedy, but then it switches gears to become a silly suspense thriller.

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
A thin and unsatisfying concoction that somehow manages to make one of the richest and most durable sources of culture-clash comedy into an occasion for dullness.
