Top CriticThe gay-themed film's characters and complications are formula fluff.
10/13/05
Top CriticWhile Cote d'Azur should be a vacation, it's often more like work just trying to stay engaged.
10/07/05
Top CriticIt's a diversion at best and a strained souffle at worst, but it rings enough Gallic changes on the old family-summer- gone-horribly- wrong genre to deliver some unexpectedly sharp laughs.
09/30/05
Top CriticSexually brazen yet also rather sweet.
09/29/05
Top CriticThere's no denying the appeal of well-toned half-naked bodies, a sun soaked Mediterranean beach, and -- musical numbers extolling the aphrodisiac qualities of shellfish?
09/28/05
Top CriticSunny little nothing of a French comedy.
09/15/05
Top CriticLike many a French summer holiday, Côte d'Azur ends up being pretty, listless, and much too long.
09/13/05
Top CriticWatching the featherweight French farce Côte d'Azur provides the oxymoronic sensation of looking at a pornographic movie with no real sex.
09/09/05
Top CriticCote D'Azur is an attempt at a witty, life-affirming sex farce, but it has no truth, wisdom or honesty, and it's barely entertaining.
09/09/05
Top CriticIt's all lots of fun while it lasts, but you'll likely forget about it as soon as the credits roll.

Top CriticThis breezy French sex farce offers an alternative to Viagra -- a Mediterranean seaside village that's so sun-dappled and alluring that anyone who vacations there quickly succumbs to pansexual languor.
09/09/05
Top CriticIt's hard to make a dull movie with copious nudity and all kinds of sex (straight, bi and gay), although French filmmakers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau manage to do so.
09/09/05
Top CriticThis is a sophisticated adult treat in the French manner with an attractive and gifted cast and is essentially serious, yet often whimsical and always compassionate.
09/08/05
Top CriticWhat's nice about Cote d'Azur -- besides the musical numbers that are completely insane -- is that something or someone is always jumping out of the bushes, and the film has such a patient understanding of who and what that might be.
09/08/05
Top CriticIt's clear that for the filmmakers, this is a sexy fantasy worth trying at home. And they make the prospect appear alluringly doable.
