Under-developed story and characters but the actors make the experience pleasant . Average movie. Not hopeful.

Just being in Paris in August it was fun to recognize many of the places. Tho I liked the film, not crazy about it, it was too long, too dark. And I agree about the goofy relationships of older men and younger women. They were not very beleivable. I thought the men were charming. Looks are not everything. And as we all get from the movie. Paris is beautiful and definitely my city of lights!

Pointless, unfocused movie - boring. Just a shoot-from-the-hip, write about whatever drifts into your mind. It by no means showed a cross-section of Paris - on the other hand, the underbelly, immigrants. It does not possess the beauty or sensitivity that you expect in a French movie. There were a couple of beautiful women, but the men were not only unattractive, they had charisma bypasses. Speaking and understanding French will not make this movie more interesting.

A wonderful film, if you like Frecnh movies as I do, Juliette and Roman Duris deliver wonderful, heartwarming performances and I do hope their performances won't be forgotten at award times (I'm pretty sure, they will be. Like last year, the movie: "The Flight of the Red Baloon," with a wonderful Julitte Binoche wasn't even mentioned.)
