Twenty years later and none the wiser for it.

At several points, Mr. Lelouch inserts clips of the young couple from A Man and a Woman. Those moments glow and remind us of what is missing this time round.

At his worst, Lelouch is extraordinarily awkward, shooting off in 12 different directions.

Did you ever consider trying to revive that rhapsodic but short-lived affair that took place twenty years ago, and then think better of it? Well, Claude Lelouch didn't think better of it, and the result is A Man And A Woman, 20 Years Later.

An enjoyable, often funny effort, though those who've seen and liked the original are bound to appreciate this more than other viewers.

Rated: 3/4

Undeniably visula with a suitably sweeping score. Cynics should stay well away and let the rest of us enjoy it.

Based on the trailer, I was prepared to poke fun at this movie. It pleasantly surprised me by not being as cheesy as advertised. There is a good love story buried somewhere in this film, often overshadowed by some forced subplots and unnecessary, excessive drama. The film shoots off in too many scattered directions. Our two leads though have chemistry and given this is a sequel filmed 20 years later, their chemistry is integral to the success and believability behind the story. That said, it doesn't hold up well as a stand-alone film.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Turning a romance classic into segregated adventure and a theatrical recap of the past artificially is no way a wise move.

Giving closure to a near perfect film through a sequel is never good
