Reviews for Impromptu
Anna Massey, who appears fleetingly as Sand's mother, offers a demonstration of how to make an overpoweringly fine impression in only a few minutes' time.
A rather conventional romantic comedy, with the requisite plot devices to provide obstacles for the would-be lovers, but the story is well told.
Despite all this assembled talent, the film stubbornly refuses to come to life.
Director James Lapine pushes the story to its entertaining fullest, exuding a period-costumed sense of fun.
A blissfully high-spirited romp about the circle of writers and musicians in 1830s Paris.
As a salon full of characters, Impromptu provides great fly on the wall fun.
