My friend and I figured that this would be more of a travelogue on Paris. We were wrong! It was a funny, wise and very enjoyable movie. Viva la France!

Charming, well-made film with excellent acting. It transported us to Paris for an afternoon from wintry NY and left us with a glow.

As for the I am French, and this may be the reason I so thoroughly enjoyed the playfulness and superb wit of this exquisite jewel of a movie. Valerie Lemercier is brilliant as usual and the rest of the cast is almost equally talented... As for the soundtrack, for someone like me who grew up to the sound of Juliette Greco, Gilbert Becaud and Charles Aznavour, it was a rare treat... Art, classical music,and French culture are offered on a silver platter to connaisseurs.... Bravo, bravo to the Thompsons (mother and son) for such a treat... Ffinally, as a French philosophy major who openly despised Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, I found it simply delicious to witness the scenes in which American film maker Pollack learns from the French comedienne Lemercier a different perspective and how to treat their story. The encounters between the two are pure delight, like a flute of champagne raised with a wink to insure that Sartre and Beauvoir will never be taken seriously again.... I highly recommend this movie to anyone with a fondness for Parisian comedy.… Expand

A warm, enjoyable film - not being a film critic I'm not jaded and so loved it - youth, optimism, and open-heartedness cross paths with age, experience, and benevolence, and who wouldn't like to see them come together in mutual A warm, enjoyable film - not being a film critic I'm not jaded and so loved it - youth, optimism, and open-heartedness cross paths with age, experience, and benevolence, and who wouldn't like to see them come together in mutual appreciation? The worst thing that happens is the heroine gets caught in the rain - the best things are the mutual reinforcemnt by the characters in each other's continued joie de vivre -- the US attempts at random-coincidence encounter movies seem to be straining for high-voltage ironic/Zen significance (Magnolia, Crash) or schtick and schmalz. But this film - ah, it was the best cinema experience I've had in several years, and it makes me want to brush up on my high-school French and emigrate to la belle France. I recommend it, subtitles and all.… Expand

A less than mediocre 'feel-good' French export. Thompson--its writer director also responsible for "Jet Lag"-should make TV commercials instead. C. De France is not only a bad actress: she is absolutely intolerable.

The only good thing about this so called movie was that I was watching it with my french-speaking girlfriend. Guys: avoid this tepid attempt at comedy/romance. It is not visual, it is not funny, you will not find anyone to emphasize with, The only good thing about this so called movie was that I was watching it with my french-speaking girlfriend. Guys: avoid this tepid attempt at comedy/romance. It is not visual, it is not funny, you will not find anyone to emphasize with, and the fact that both sun and father shared a lover is only irritating as it adds nothing to the story. What a bummer.… Expand

Fine acting performances superb photography and music and tasteful moments of pathos balanced with warmth. Ultimately an uplifting and enjoyable experience thanks to some imaginative writing and direction by Daniele Thompson.… Expand
