Yuck! Badly written, poorly acted

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2004)

Pretty painful experience. The dialogue tried, and tried but failed embarrassingly. Good premise, and with Paris as a backdrop, this could have had some potential.
This was basically an inferior "My Dinner with Andre", without the help of intelligent writing. The scenes of Paris were nice, but didn't compare with Louis Malle's loving camera work.
It's not that they didn't try; but there's a difference between trying to be 'natural'/real' and being trite and banal.
It didn't feel real and it certainly wasn't articulate.
Worst film I've seen this decade.
