Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Proof that the French can make romcoms as annoying as ours. Rated: 2/5 Nov 2, 2007 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Prominent base notes of chauvinism and insincerity here. Nov 2, 2007 Full Review Karl French Financial Times A stilted, intermittently winsome story. Nov 2, 2007 Full Review Enrique Buchichio Uruguay Total (...) Es el tipo de pelcula sobre la cual no puede decirse nada demasiado positivo ni demasiado negativo. A veces est bueno ir al cine sabiendo que no hay que esperar ms que eso. Rated: 2/5 May 5, 2008 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Kevin Harley Total Film The old gender-tussle tune is played lightly and wittily, with a streak of mischief peppering any risk of schmaltz.

Audience Member Fun film about love. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched this on TF1 tonight. Disappointingly unfunny; the main structural problem is that the central character is irredeemably loathsome, and unless the audience secretly sympathizes with the protagonist in his predicament, the cause is lost. Perhaps realising this script failure, the producers cast the genial Alain Chabat in the role - in the hope that he will save the situation. This can only work for those who come to the film fully aware of Chabat's previous work - as most French people will. It is however a cheap trick, and it failed on me. Gainsbourg, nevertheless, is magnetic and the whole ensemble does its level best as the plot winds itself towards the inevitable redemption through true love. The French release date incidentally, was 2006. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Pas mal... surtout scie par Charlotte, moi qui croyais qu'elle jouait d'habitude comme une merde la...elle m'a à (C)patà (C), elle dervrait faire des roles comme ca plus souvent, plutôt que la meuf chiante, chapeau Charlotte !!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie.. the last thing you want to do is playing love.. coz you'll probably end up falling in it.. ;) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Prete "Moit" Ta Main... ah la la.. En tout cas, superbe comedie francaise, une de mes preferees depuis bien longtemps. C'est toujours un plaisir de regarder ce film, Chabat et Gainsbourg vont tres bien ensemble. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Good comedy with some great ideas and an awesome cast. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
