Was this going to be a trite netflix romcom. It starts not too bad.. there's interesting characters, a nice backstory of a USA Student from a hard working immigrant family.. nice and needed story these days.. but unfortunately as the movie moved forward the lead actress was more Megan Markle and less anything with an interesting ethnic background of any kind.. in total she spoke less than one sentence of Spanish... it would have been much more convincing had she had proper Spanish conversations with her mother - who was great .. .The love interest was orginally a little trite as well but as his storyline develops he is good as are the friends. Dougray Scott has few scenes but does them very well, raising the bar considerably. All in all if you're after a Friday night movie and you can withstand the wooden, perfect hair acting from the lead female it is reasonably entertaining , especially if you have a love of poetry somewhere in you. However it is certainly three stars tops.

Very much enjoyed this. Beautiful sumptious scenes of opera flashbacks including some gorgeous outdoor opera scenes as part of a kind of hallucination/memory. Thoughtful, interesting, moving. It's nice to see a movie where the actual people in the day to day of someone's life are celebrated..that is her personal assistant/butler/ ( does everything guy) and housemaid excellent chef - the people who care about her most. Fabulous portrayal by Angelina Jolie.

Fun, fast and French.. Wasn't initially at all interested in this show until I saw an interview with Philippine Leroy Beaulieu who plays Sylvie. For me,( as a woman over 60) it makes the entire show worth watching just to see this fantastic character who is , now, over 60 and looks unbelievable . Sexy, beautiful, amazing figure, gorgeous clothes and she's doesn't look like she's trying to be 25 she's just owning being her age and being sexy and sassy and clever and gorgeous. With Sylvie as a major character it makes everything else a very nice, fun watch. Beautiful Paris, lovely Emily, great clothes. In my opinion Netflix should promote Sylvie more in the promos as it seemed to me like this show would just be about young people with little of interest to older audiences. However.. thanks to Sylvie it has a little more depth. It's like having a nice glass of Champagne, half an hour, escapist, lovely.

Watched this eating pizza on a Friday night and it was perfect. After all the bad reviews I had pretty low expectations and was more than pleasantly surprised. My group of three aged 18/50/64 were in hysterics many times; the fact it was based on a true story made it particularly compelling.. but for anyone used to Polynesian culture or soccer or both it was absolutely hilarious. And managed to make several nice but not overplayed points about inclusion and the meaning of life in between the jokes. Totally recommend.

in the very same mode as Home Alone, this is a hilarious and very watchable move.

hilarious, dramatic, brilliant cast.
