About
If you enjoy breezy, old-school comedy with romantic mix-ups and a citywide scramble, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you want grounded drama or slow pacing, like in À Nous la Liberté.
Pros: fast-paced Paris chase; playful romantic mix; lighthearted humor | Cons: thin character depth; lots of frantic running; coincidences pile up
