    • Quotes

      Gérald: You really fooled me. I was ready for anything but this. You see, in a way, I'm relieved: Something was fishy, but I couldn't figure it out. But I'm disappointed, too. Very much so. I was already more than interested in you. I don't want to shock you, but I wanted to love you, and I'm frustrated.

      Isabelle: OK, stop this nonsense.

    Like a mini trip back to France.
    Having lived for weeks at a time in France, we found this film so enjoyable as a mini-trip back to France. The film captured the French culture and a slice of every day life. The plot was intelligent and fun. Although the matchmaking plot was predictable, it didn't spoil the intelligent and realistic denouement. Now the challenge is to find the earlier 3 films in this series.
