Emerges as one of those concoctions in which the ingredients prove tastier than the finished dish.

Movie Gazette
A polished, if inconsequential, piece of film-making, and a welcome antidote to less subtle portrayals of Franco-American relations.

Plays like one of Woody Allen's lesser ensemble pictures, flitting from one upscale character to another just long enough to wring polite enjoyment from their individual tics.

A delightful blend of American sensibility and French chaos in a movie that is sunny, surprising and consistently entertaining.

Though the film is tinged with sidelines of depth and seriousness, Hudson helps keep things lively and amusing.
