User Reviews

A very funny romantic comedy, that is a great night out

This is a feel good movie that isn't dopey. It was well written, a farce with absurd situations that are believable. There are some great funny lines, be sure to catch them. The characters are all terrific and very likable. The scenes in Paris are beautiful

Actors are great, the two male leads have perfect comedic timing. The female leads are beautiful and will win your heart.

If you need a break from high-brow films that leave you feeling upset, go see this. It's a wonderful fun night out and for it's genre very well made.

This is a don't miss. Out on Valentine's Day (what could be more perfect?)
