      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      This listless, albeit sexually charged, French farce is too lightweight to make any impact despite its whimsical qualities.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Geoff Pevere Toronto Star Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Little more than an alluring travelogue with a side order of R-rated humpiness. Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com ...an act of cinematic masturbation against pastel colors... Rated: D+ Jun 15, 2009 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Kam Williams Denver Urban Spectrum Works well so long as it is approached as a tongue-in-cheek farce as opposed to a plausible melodrama.

      Audience Member nice little comedy filled with good ideas, some great singing moments and a cast who's having a blast...so does the audience. Great french summer comedy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Ich habe ihn gerade wieder gesehen - I know it's mot a masterpiece of the art of cinema. But, there is always a but: I just love this film. Pace I. (alias A.) ;-) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This brilliant movie is better known as 'Cockles and Muscles' in the Western world. This film is bloody brilliant. All the characters are hiding secrets pretty much and they spin a complicated web with their relationships and issues. It's funny, yet serious at the same time! I laughed out loud when there was a musical number at the end!! Just bloody brilliant. I'm definitely going to buy it! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Cote D'Azur is a delightful comedy that talks about sexuality in a very light way. Maybe too light to be true but there is no doubt that it would be good to be true. This movie is adorable, and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is gorgeous. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member So nothing to see on the tv for 1 week except one channel.And i was fortunate enough to see this "fabulous" movie.That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Better than Dark Moon Rising.This movie is awful.Second worst movie i've ever seen.Even if it has acceptable acting the plot is SO boring that i most deffinately would have fallen asleep forever if it wasn't for Valeria Bruni.If you look at it as a comedy, it's decent.The boy with long hair that looks like Blanka from Street Fighter made me laugh till i couldn't breathe.Stay away. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the 3 worst films i've seen so far in my entire existence. Gay love and sexy time on the beach while spewing horrible dialogues and disastrous scenes. The french should stick to their Taxi and Banlieue 13, cuz they suck at this romance drama misguided sexuality crap. One star for Valeria Bruni the only thing worth watching...more or less. Don't waste you're time. Peace! P.S. "Horea: Blanka, Chewbaca, wookie...RRRRrrrrrr!" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
