About
You may like this if you enjoy light, offbeat French romance with a restless lead and gentle humor; not for you if you want a tightly plotted story or the mood of The 400 Blows or Jules and Jim.
Pros: charming lead performance; lively romantic mix; funny job mishaps | Cons: uneven structure; slight character focus; less depth than expected
