"They're not". This is how Iris (Laure Calamy) answers her doctor when she is asked how things are going with her husband (Vincent Elbaz). The words slip from her mouth like a brutal realization: how long has it been since they last made love? Yet everything else is great: her partner loves her, they have two happy daughters, she runs a successful medical practice, lives in a beautiful apartment and has the best friends one could hope for. But soon Iris will be turning 50. It is a stranger who whispers the seed of an idea: "Take a lover". So she dares open Pandora's box, and hesitantly registers herself on a dating app. Immediately, men start to appear, as if it were raining...

4/5

The tone, at times, is very jaunty, reminiscent of Richard Curtis classics and machine-tooled rom-coms. This might have been tiresome were it not for the gleefully French eccentricities.

2/5

The usually excellent Calamy struggles with a character who is neither as funny nor as insightful as the film-makers intend her to be; the jolly, twinkling score is the musical equivalent of a saucy seaside postcard.

It’s silly and flimsy but sometimes oddly daring.

3/5

While the film itself feels a bit slight, especially in the way the story resolves itself, it's also a lot of fun. And it makes some nice observations about relationships.

3/5

Whether you enjoy rom-coms about adultery or those that express a woman's freedom through impromptu musical numbers in the street, It's Raining Men is an enjoyable watch.

4/5

Even if the result is not ultimately very surprising, it’s well handled, with a mature understanding and a depth of commitment to character.

Entertaining, but the change from desperate 'men eater' to going back to her husband could have been done more carefully. It appears too abrupt to me.

This is a major disappointment, Calamy is still charming yes. But that is literally the only thing going for it. The comedy is sadly missing from their previous collaboration. The plot is so predictable even the 'twist'. The message is dubious at best and whole film is a massive waste of talent, as well as our time.
