Those looking for a light and decidedly untraditional comedy will find some smart and witty exchanges within; those who consider Adam Sandler an underrated genius may be bored stiff.

Jaglom ... put[s] the audience in the privileged position of eavesdropping on his characters
07/26/02
Little more than a briefly fascinating curiosity, a travelogue for those of us who can't actually attend (and now would not wish to).
03/31/02
A rambling ensemble piece with loosely connected characters and plots that never quite gel.

For every audience agony provides elsewhere audience ecstasy.

In the end, we don't see enough of Cannes and maybe too much of Kaz. But you have to accept or reject Jaglom as you might a walk on the Croisette, taking the bitter with the sweet.

Top CriticIt's a loosely strung movie about self-absorbed people in a money-driven world -- and as uninviting as that sounds, it's one of the season's most watchable treats.

The seaside splendor and shallow, beautiful people are nice to look at while you wait for the story to get going.

Top CriticMay be Jaglom at his most self-serving and self-righteous.
04/19/02
Like most of Jaglom's films, some of it is honestly affecting, but more of it seems contrived and secondhand.

Top CriticOffers a wonderfully entertaining look at the veterans, neophytes, phonies, truth seekers, profiteers and artists who populate the movie industry.

Top CriticThanks to DIY director Henry Jaglom, you can experience the intoxicating, exasperating rush of the famous moviefest in the South of France.

A guilty pleasure for diehard Francophiles who love the songs of Charles Trenet and Edith Piaf.
