It’s all light as a feather, with Jeremy Leven, the writer and director, landing some good multinational jokes along the way. Read full review

With this “Girl” and her bicycle, the cute bits, rare laugh out loud moments, occasionally zippy lines and limply obvious farcical predicaments are never more than instantly forgettable. Read full review

Writer and director Jeremy Leven’s film is meant to be a trifle, a status which it achieves, but it’s nothing more than that. Read full review

Wes Greene

I give this a score of 10 for all the above but especially because it isn't pretentious it outs itself as a cliche from the get go and it is much more original and enjoyable because of this.

Highly enjoyable.
