Being my usual cynical self, I couldn't help but wonder how slanted this movie was. It showed all of the American characters as down-to-earth and likeable; perhaps flawed, but in a way that comes closer to making you want to hang out with them as opposed to judging and rejecting them. In contrast, the French are all portrayed as know-it-all snobs.
I'd say it's probably impossible to drink this movie without concurrently watching a bottle of wine.

I stumbled across this movie on a plane and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteI love watching movies on a plane! Something about the lack of distractions. Except for one time when The Straight Story was on and I was trying to sleep and we had bulkhead seating so the screen was mere inches from my eyes and every time I looked--every time!!--it was just some old guy riding a lawn mower . . .
