Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Delightful in spots, and on the whole worth seeing, although the fun slumps off badly toward the finish. Nov 14, 2019 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator In the nature of a fairy story, this film lacks the courage to be one and weaves uneasily between the ponderously obvious and slapstick. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis ...at least it never offends, but it doesn't do much to amuse, either. It seems sort of a waste of Mr. Guinness's talents. Rated: 5/10 Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The comedy is strained. Rated: D Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

s r Fun romantic comedy about a father and son visiting paris. The father finds a young love and the son finds a more mature. It's a little forced, but it had its moments.
