Plots(1)
On holiday in the south of France, anxious Parisian Violette (Delpy) and her best friend Ariane (Karin Viard) obsess about love and sex while, at the same time, ridiculing them mercilessly. When Violette meets awkward small-towner Jean-René (brilliant French comic Dany Boon), she first keeps him at arm's length. But there's no denying his charm. "I'm sick of smartass Parisian guys messing with my head," she realizes. And off they go. When she brings Jean-René back to Paris, things get more complicated. Violette's son, Lolo (Vincent Lacoste, also at the Festival in Parisienne), has gotten used to being the only man in his mother's life. He launches an effective stealth campaign against Jean-René, undermining his mother's lover at every turn. (Toronto International Film Festival)

I was expecting a bit more from Julie Delpy, both as an actress and as a screenwriter, but she did a decent job as a director. It's a fairly well-shot comedy with interesting characters, but unfortunately, it overall feels a bit empty. It's more pleasing in individual scenes rather than as a whole, as a solid comedy.
