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...
I didn't realise this film had subtitles until the final credits. Not knowing French, I thought I was meant to follow the storyline by comprehending the body language and expressions. Watched it again with the subtitles, it is a much darker film and ... (read more) I didn't realise this film had subtitles until the final credits. Not knowing French, I thought I was meant to follow the storyline by comprehending the body language and expressions. Watched it again with the subtitles, it is a much darker film and better film the first time round!
Kate Hudson, bleah, puke, bleah. She is positively awful, or at least her agent is.
lovely piece of fluff. family discovers sister has painting, tries to save it from divorce. much fun ensues. somewhat convoluted but entertaining
This interesting drama, makes you think about love, tragedy and infidelity. It is not a great movie, but it was entertaining.
Critic Reviews
Breezy pleasure, complete with cultural commentary that never quite stings.full review
Feels like a period film in clumsy modern-day dressup.full review
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.full review
Entertaining as an adult romantic comedy, but then it switches gears to become a silly suspense thriller.full review
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.full review
