Just so im not misunderstood...i love french films. We rented this after reading the storyline which we found to be really interesting. A dad trying to understand his daughter by bonding with her ex's. However, this was just a simple story that failed to become an interesting or complete movie. It's like the writer had a fine idea that was not developed in any way. Whole chunks of the story are left out, it just seemed to be a jumble of short scenes that do not build on each other whatsoever. We never fully understand any of the leads reasoning or reactions. We don't ever understand why they interact the way they do. There is no point to anything. Why did the dad never send the postcards? All those ex- boyfriends at the funeral...where the hell where they for the rest of the hour and a half? At the end Justine says that boxer-boy was the only one who didn't play golf with her dad...what does that MEAN???? Holes in the script and plot are filled with emotional outbursts and a few good jokes. Simply a mediocre, fluffy, wannabe hip drama-comedy.
