This is yet another of the seemingly endless supply of charming French rom-coms featuring yet another gorgeous French actress who can actually act and who are hard to see in the UK - I saw her in a lovely, delicate film at the Rotonde in Paris last December but the chances of it playing here are negligible at best. There is, alas, a flaw in this film, an occupational hazard in films of this nature; Virginie Efira finds it easy to succumb to the charm and good looks of Jean Dujardin but there is the problem of his statue - 4 foot, six inches, if anybody asks you in real life Dujardin is five, eleven) so how to overcome it and make it credible that a gorgeous gal of normal height would commit herself? Glad you asked. It's classically simple. This guy isn't your common-or-garden facteur or even l'ingieur projecting the movie. That's much too easy. THIS guy is a talented architect pulling down a whole lotta nines and with a life-style to match.
Just once I wish someone would make a movie in which one of the protagonists does have a handicap of some kind but the only compensations are ones he/she was born with i.e. charisma, charm, intelligence but NOT wealth and/or possessions. Efira and Dujardin are excellent and I will buy the dvd as and when BUT I would have enjoyed it just as much if Dujardin didn't have change of a match.
