Julie Delpy from Before Sunrise/Sunset (1995;2004) fame is back with a witty, romantic comedy, except she isn't just acting this time, but also writing, directing, co-producing, making hte music, editing the film and well to be honest she pretty much did everything in this film. It has a very similiar European flair as Sunrise/Sunset, but at the sime time seems less serious and much more comedic in nature. While both movies have dialogue that is natural and roles off the tongue this film seems less "real" and more a mixture between the European romantic beauty of Sunrise/Sunset and Meet the Parents (2000). I don't think that should be taken as a negative comment, especially since this is Delpy's first stab and writing or directing. I will say I was especially pleased by the ending to the film, which makes me believe she will have a promising directing/writing career if she attempts to pursue it, since this is always the most difficult part of any literary work. An 7/10.
7/10
