Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

This is a sophisticated adult treat in the French manner with an attractive and gifted cast and is essentially serious, yet often whimsical and always compassionate. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

A finely balanced piece of comedic machinery. Read full review

Jami Bernard

You know this movie is French (apart from the subtitles), because everyone looks great, gets naked and later breaks into a peppy musical number about the joys of lobster and shellfish. Read full review

Joshua Katzman

Real-life partners Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau wrote and directed this frothy sex farce, incorporating musical numbers that recall Jacques Demy; the results are middling, but the actors' verve compensates for the clumsy choreography and lackadaisical camerawork. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

In Ducastel's and Martineau's hands all the unpleasantness blows away like a kiss on a soft summer breeze, a light wind that nevertheless leaves a vaguely unpleasant scent in its wake. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Bruni-Tedeschi is her usual radiantly libidinal presence, but channeling Bette Midler doesn't become her, and even she can't redeem all the redundant vaudeville carry-on. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Has no truth, wisdom or honesty, and it's barely entertaining. Read full review

I gave this 10 because I really did enjoy it. Guess I must have tuned into the soft and suble essence of the movie, the joyful ending. Glad I was able to, unlike most critics who panned it.
