      Steve D An entertaining movie. Worth the 90 minutes watching it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies ever because of personal reasons. I experienced similar things when I traveled to Europe after high school so this movie rang true to me. I loved everything about this movie. The cast was tremendous including young future stars Mandy Pantinkin and Debra Winger in small roles. Valérie Quennessen is a revelation..she went on to star in Summer Lovers 3 years later but died young in a tragic car accident. Miles Chapman does an awesome Woody Allen type performance and David Marshall Grant is fantastic. The writers Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck also penned the classic American Graffitti and the first draft of Star Wars (uncredited). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately, the brief "Movie Info" section seems to have a factual inaccuracy: "Mme. Tessier's extracurricular activities consists of a torrid romance with the impressionable Joel." Actually, the character she has a brief run-in with is Alex (played by David Marshall Grant). The DVD is finally available via Amazon. What fun! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member French Postcards is a modest charmer whose only requirement is to sit back and enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent movie that stands the test of time. It does hae a sad aspect to because Valerie Quennessen who played Tomi was killed in a car accident during the late 1980s. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A very cute film about a group of American college students who move to Paris for a year abroad. Not a classic but a nice "feel good" film.
