About
If you enjoy relationship-driven French comedies with messy emotions, quick wit, and a flawed lead learning (slowly) about commitment, this should land; Not for you if you dislike flashbacks or selfish protagonists like in The Man Who Loved Women.
Pros: charming lead performance; brisk early pace; witty relationship comedy | Cons: long flashbacks; uneven flow; grating credits song
