not convincing

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2001)

A love story it is not. Without too much effort it could be made into a parody of a love story. The love theme is hackneyed and shallow. The plot drags the usual sequence of a love story on and on because there it has nothing creative to offer.
Choreography was good but the cinematography failed to deliver it well as the movie wore on. Casting misfired. The chemistry between Nicole and Ewan didn't feel real or deep.
The best thing about the movie was the clever visuals of old Paris.

This would be much better as a stage show but only if it was a parody of a love story, not the real thing. (or maybe it was a parody and I feel asleep).
