I love America follows the adventures of Lisa (Sophie Marceau) who decides to transform her life by leaving Paris for Los Angeles. Her children have left the family nest and her famous mother, absent throughout her life, has just died: Lisa therefore needs a fresh start! She reunites with her best friend Luka (Djanis Bouzyani) who has made a name for himself professionally in America by opening a famous drag queen bar, but his love life is as complicated as it is prolific. Luka makes it his mission to help Lisa revive her long dormant love life by creating a profile for her on a dating app. Through uncomfortable dates and an unexpected romance with John (Colin Woodell), Lisa finds out that the real reckoning is with herself, if she can finally forgive the person who was her first love... her mother.

An amiable yet unambitious and tonally shaky Tinseltown-set romantic comedy.

Rated: 2.5/4

The Times (UK)

Compelling mainly for demonstrating that an actual human life could be hewn from so many hoary movie clichés.

Rated: 2/5

TheWrap

Bats at the sort of low-hanging fruit that, given the right mood, could be of interest to anyone who enjoys watching cornball romantic comedies or even the embarrassing but compulsively watchable iAnd Just Like Thati revival.

Shadows on the Wall

Taking an earthy, realistic approach to both the imagery and the voiceover narration, writer-director Lisa Azuelos gives this autobiographical comedy-drama a strongly personal kick.

Rated: 3.5/5

Jennifer Green

Common Sense Media

Despite excellent actors and story material with plenty of potential, this French dramatic comedy doesn't succeed as a drama or as a comedy.

Rated: 2/5

Ready Steady Cut

I Love America lacks adequate honesty and enough goodwill to qualify as a fun diversion.

I'm stunned at the criticism this movie has gotten! It's far more enjoyable and has more depth (OK, not an ocean's worth but it IS a rom-com) than about 500 other movies like it. Don't pass this up. It's a great Friday night treat.
