Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

kosmasp Far from it actually. Unless we're talking about the original plan. But even that wasn't perfect. Also telling the story does not actually make sense, seeing the context it is meant for. Unless the surprise at the end was planned. But it wasn't. Also deviating from the original plan as Diane Krugers character does, is kind of a major fail. It's a general problem if you just start to think a little bit, nothing in this movie should work.But I still had fun watching it. Because I decided that I didn't care, that it didn't make any sense at all. The movie itself tries to cover it up by fast cuts and even faster speeches/dialog. The jokes rate is therefor a hit and miss parade. Still there is charm and there are some nice gems to be found, even though there are far better french comedies out there.

simona gianotti The two main actors make a difference in this delightful romantic comedy, Dany Boon revealing once again his comic verve and the algid Diane Kruger proving an unsuspected comic side, and supporting the role of Boon very effectively. The story may lack some cohesion , being more a sequence of isolated funny moments, rather than a development of a story, although the flashback storytelling tries to give unity to the plot. The characters, especially Isabelle, are little developed and change abruptly without much coherence. However, some truly comic moments are to be appreciated and these are the best moments and the set piece of the picture, which can offer two hours of entertainment, together with some exotic charm of its settings.

mihaljevic27 a million i love yous for this creation, i had an entire 5 star theater all to myself, between 6pm and 8pm, seats as wide as first class airplane seats, wow, what an experience, atypical French, but totally my family resembles the humor................Thank you for such intimate secrets, much appreciated, rocked my world - i want that lion too, aaaah breath taking scenes! 10 more lines, I'm not used to providing such feedback. However, I would love to read a book version and investigate every aspect of these actors, directors, scenarists, screen writers, the whole crew that is involved, the locations, the process, I would love to watch the making of and interviews with the cast, that is always a gem to watch. I was thrilled to keep up with the French with Croatian subtitles, somehow I could read fast enough to focus on listening and learn, I wish you many accolades, awards, recognition, but discretely of course, n'est pas?

coiffuremixte Dany Boon is a genius. This is a great romantic comedy, the framing device is brilliant and surprising, the narration spotless, the acting first-rate, the comedy: funny!The success is that while drawing from the finest of comedies in cinema history : Capra (It Happened One Night) Lubitsch (Ninotchka) Sturges (The Lady Eve) Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) this brings new breath to a well-worn genre. An example off the top of my head is the way in which Diane Kruger struggles to seduce Boon and the dose of pragmatic realism she brings to this difficult task, which makes her all the more sympathetic and funny. She is miles away from Claudette Colbert in The Palm Beach Story, who so easily puts her adventuress plans into action, almost purring with pleasure.Yes, this film is French but you can still enjoy it even if sound comes out of the actors mouths when they speak and it isn't English but French, I promise you it is a million miles from stereotypical French cinema, this deserves an international audience! (got that off my chest)This is entertainment, get it while it's hot! (no there isn't any explicit sex in it and no existentialism either, a truly different French film)
