The trailer makes the film looks funnier and more jovial than it is. Instead, it’s the story of a long-time married couple hitting their retirement years, realizing that they might not be a perfect match any longer.

It’s slightly uncomfortable in places, but it’s also fun – at least when Jeff Goldblum is on the screen. Expand

When Nick and Meg revisit Paris for the first time since their honeymoon to rekindle their relationship they find the truth about their feelings for each other may be irreparable. What starts out as a witty Woody Allen-esque comedy of mannersWhen Nick and Meg revisit Paris for the first time since their honeymoon to rekindle their relationship they find the truth about their feelings for each other may be irreparable. What starts out as a witty Woody Allen-esque comedy of manners takes a turn for the pretentious at the half way mark and doesn't really recover. Lovely performances make it worth a watch but it feels like a missed opportunity. Expand

LE-WEEKEND truly aspires for depth and relevance but ultimately falls into the easy cliches that we associate with the typical Hollywood RomCom. This is a film that ultimately feels false and forced. You'll never believe for a minute thatLE-WEEKEND truly aspires for depth and relevance but ultimately falls into the easy cliches that we associate with the typical Hollywood RomCom. This is a film that ultimately feels false and forced. You'll never believe for a minute that these two boomers played by Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan have been in the same room together let alone married for over 30 years. As the film plods along from obvious plot point to obvious plot point, director Roger Michell and writer Hanif Kureishi try very hard to makes us believe how "genuine" this all is but their talents prevent them from adding any true insight. LE-WEEKEND is actually more frustrating than a RomCom because it is never engaging, witty or charming, just false at every turn. Expand
