This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie seemed promising at first. An unmarried couple consisting of a hypochondriac American man and a blond French woman travel from New York to Europe on vacation with the idea of reviving their failing relationship. Having first gone to Venice, Italy, they then travel to Paris to meet her parents and sister. Problem is, when walking through Paris, the girlfriend meets up with a lot of her old paramours, which displeases the boyfriend.I was expecting a romantic comedy or farce, but while there were a few laughs, overall the movie was stilted and unconvincing and we didn't finish. The minor characters were little better than stereotypes, but worst of all was the couple, who spent so much time arguing and fighting that it was impossible to believe they even liked, let alone loved, each other, or could even stand each other's presence. They boyfriend's overdone hypochondria and girlfriend's nonstop chattering was too much even if this film had been intended as a farce.It may be a French film, but the fact that I've seen French reviewers who also disliked this movie says plenty. Spend no time with this movie.

This movie is the reason why I created my account. I found it absolutely awful and have the need to share this with the readers of this review.Let me summarize in a few words.Boring: it has no interesting story to tell, besides the classical story of a malfunctioning relationship.Annoying: 95% of the movie plot consists of two people having an argument, not getting along, or being bored.Not funny: I understand enough of French and American culture to claim to understand its humor, if there is one. But there is absolutely none. I vaguely smiled twice during the entire movie.Exaggerated: I just come home from a week in Paris. The people are absolutely not like shown in the movie (they are all shown to be assholes).Very kitsch: The "lessons" the character of Julie Delpy has learned by the end of the story couldn't be more kitsch. She has now understood the world - fantastic! Don't spend your time on this movie. I came to watch it because I'm a huge fan of the Before Sunrise-Trilogy with Julie Delpy. But this movie, seriously, is just so much crap!

The more movies I watch starring Julie Delpy, the more I become a totally devoted fan. I simply love this super talented french actor, director script writer etc. In this movie she is much more than just the head actor, and she shows that she has Monty Python quality although the theme is rather serious. Watch it, please...The wonderful thing is that I can still see true love Celine from sunrise/sunset in her, in these rather desperate possibly more (European) realistic movie. She shows in an authentich way the sometimes HUGE difference between Amerixan and European people and their way of living out their relationships. Big scope to include her wonderful french parents in this movie. Her father is hilarious. They are VERY very European and French, super lovely, and if you don't like them you may simply just happen to have the BIG misfortune to be born in USA. I am sorry for you. Watching the movie will change everything for you in the right direction. Please do. And please go to Europe on your next trip.

Impossible to watch without entertaining the ghost of Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise/Before Sunset). Indeed Delpy clearly has the aesthetic, subject material and script content in her own mind as well. It is a great testament to her that this is an idiosyncratic, coherent and self- contained rom-com in the metropolitan tradition of Annie Hall.It helps that she persuaded Adam Goldberg to play her lover. He's a fine actor (look no further than Linklater's own Dazed and Confused, no less) but here he's careful not to overplay the Jewish weltschmerz. He's attentive to the chief protagonist being the relationship that the two principals have and not each of them individually. Delpy also does a fine job given that she's clearly shuttling between different ends of the camera - not too 'kooky'.The ensemble cast is well taken without reserve, all creating striking but not overpowering characters along the way. The film is shot largely hand-held and jumps through the episodes with an energy that goes with the purported watershed age of Jack and Marion (they're meant to be 35). I liked it very much. 7.5/10
