Can you go wrong with a movie featuring Diane Lane, French food and scenery, directed by a Coppola? Apparently yes. First, the dreary cinematography makes the French countryside look unappealing. How do you manage that? The movie is slow, there is no chemistry between the leads and the whole thing is a giant cliché. Even the ever watchable Diane Lane turns in a one-note performance, relying on familiar expressions. We've seen this performance before in better movies. I just don't get all the good reviews. I expected a lot more.
