I thought that this movie was very funny and had a great light and sweet tone! I loved the mashup of French, German, and Italian cultures and thought that there were some very good jokes and the conversation quick and funny in general. Although it had some pretty ridiculous plot lines, those were obviously on purpose and meant to be ridiculous! If you just go with it, I think the movie is sweet and funny and clever. Everyone else that reviewed this movie has no sense of humor and should lighten up!

Louise Monot and Vincenzo Amato sparkle with genuine chemistry in their shared scenes, and I wish there more. Supporting cast members are good enough, but their scenes are long and often off the main point, if such a comedy has one. The perky sountrack of violins, soaring at the wrong moments or plucked during light moments, a ubiquitous style now in TV and films, can be annoying--it never stops. But the scenery and double plot move the film along. I will find and see more films starring Louise Monot or Vincenzo Amato.

Goofy, fluffy little rom-com with lots of European flavor. Stretched thin but still sweet and fun. We enjoyed it.

"Girl on a Bicycle" is a cute international romantic comedy that strikes a good balance between situational comedy and cheesy romantic moments. The story is formulaic but I was legitimately interested to see how the it would resolve itself. Even with a musical score that you might expect from a Lifetime Original Movie, the film's quality supersedes that of a typical low-budget indie film. I wouldn't hand out any Oscars to these leads, but I greatly enjoyed the performances of Nora Tschirner, Vincenzo Amato, and Louise Monot. They formed impressive chemistry with one another and individually brought a lot of gumption to their characters. Also, if you enjoy accents, then this is the movie for you! The setting captures the essence of Paris and the decision to have a French, German, and Italian lead speaking in their native tongue and accent makes the film unique. There are some eye-rolling moments and much of the story is unrealistic; still, it is all worth it for that scene on the airplane where Tschirner steals out hearts. "Girl on a Bicycle" isn't my favorite chick flick (in fact, it probably belongs in the "guilty pleasure" genre) but it provides a nice break from the next flavor-of-the-month Nicholas Sparks adaptation.

I like it how this movie doesn't fall out into Hollywood romantic clichÃ©s. It's somewhat gives a more realistic take on everyday life although through a very weird series of accidents.

It may be the worst romantic comedy I have ever seen, and this is not hyperbole.

[The] we-are-the-world inclusiveness comes across like shameless pandering-a blatant effort to secure as much global financing as possible.

Movie Mezzanine

From the opening scene, Girl on a Bicycle falls into an unfortunate trap it can never quite escape from: its humor feels entirely forced and predominantly based on national stereotypes.

The story and the circumstances are goofy enough to have been taken from an episode of "Three's Company."
