With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and fans of a well-timed joke. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Same wavelength as Manhattan.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1933: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Francois, a cheerful Parisian bohemian, wants more than anything to be a tour guide in his beloved city. While working the streets, Francois meets Madeleine, who works at a circus.
