My approach to this movie was pretty indifferent - I was actually turned off by the ad promising Julie Delpy yet in ANOTHER film in Paris chatting with some lover about relationships etc. Haven't we seen that twice already ? The fact that she even shot this one herself didn't necessarily help, on the contrary, even... Then, my own girlfriend wanted to see it, so what the heck... and we both were very pleasantly surprised ! Maybe because we are, too, a couple of two cultures (German/American) living in Paris. Not since the two 'Auberge Espagnol'-movies have I felt a similar connection to a movie, in which the director seems to have quite a sense for people on the street, a real talent to capture 'real life'. Different from 'screenwriter 14's impression I also did not bother me that neither Delpy's nor Goldberg's nor any other character is permanently likable. It's good that way ! And, what we both liked a lot : Finally a movie-comedy that does not constantly show postcard-Paris, but also the raunchy, rude, annoying, partly vulgar side. So, Julie, "didn't love you, didn't love your films", but this one is a home run !
