About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, modern French romcom about commitment fears and a midlife detour, with a few sharp laughs; Not for you if you dislike goofy antics or tidy endings like in Barbecue.
Pros: laugh-out-loud moments; sweet, relaxed vibe; sly French humor | Cons: vapid romcom setup; goofy slapstick stretches; unrealistic fantasy ending
