Both Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsborough are thoroughly appealing, as their unblinking honesty and openness shines through even the film’s silliest bits.

Part comedy, part drama, the movie winds up accomplishing neither in full, and leaves us feeling touched and amused by several moments and ideas, but nevertheless dissatisfied with the movie as a whole.
09/01/02
"My Wife is an Actress" blends elements of fiction and reality, shakes them up and hopes for the best.
10/21/02
The three leads produce adequate performances, but what's missing from this material is any depth of feeling.
09/23/02
The film exudes the urbane sweetness that Woody Allen seems to have bitterly forsaken.

A frothy valentine to moviemaking and romance that doesn't quite achieve its intended impact, despite the compelling presence of the central trio.
06/10/02
If the movie were all comedy, it might work better. But it has an ambition to say something about its subjects, but not a willingness.

The film's welcome breeziness and some unbelievably hilarious moments -- most portraying the idiocy of the film industry -- make it mostly worth the trip.

Yvan may be a self-deprecating paranoiac in the Woody Allen tradition, but Mr. Attal's script does a fine job of making his character's concerns farcically real.
08/01/02
Top CriticYvan Attal may be happily entangled in his fair Charlotte's web, but he doesn't manage to snare us.
07/11/02
The film title My Wife Is an Actress should be extended to finish with . . . and I'm a Major Annoyance.
07/26/02
Top CriticNot only is this material slight, it also seems ridiculously padded.
10/11/02
Writer-director Attal stars in the picture opposite his real-life wife, and luckily there's chemistry between them.
