A cute farce
30 August 2005
This movie is what it is: a silly farce. It's great if you are looking for a light film to while away an evening. If you are looking for deep cinema, give it a pass. If you like whimsical silly films, you'll love it. I got some good laughs out of it, and the plot is certainly unlike any other film I've seen. Jane Birkin was terrific, especially the scene in the doctor's office. I was glad to be introduced to some fresh faces in this film. Diane Wiest was great too. I had not seen her in any recent films and it was nice to see her taking on a different role in a non-traditional film. The various plot lines all tie up at the end. Films with that kind of structure are usually fun to watch as you anticipate each character learning what's really going on. If you like ensemble cast films, you will probably like this one. It has a number of actors in it, some with small but funny parts. Check it out!
