Trivia:

Tautou doing to others what we'd all like her to do to us

Lovely, light--thoroughly amoral--romantic comedy that has a style reminiscent of the best Audrey Hepburn comedies. And the cloying nonsense of "Amelie" is left far behind. Using Monaco like a beautiful postcard, the humor is more subtle than we're used to from the French. A small bit at the beginning where a waiter dozes off while standing at a bar reassured me this was going to be rare.

Tautou and her foil, Gad Elmaleh, can't upstage one another; their facial and physical takes are masterful. Even the supporting roles (Marie-Christine Adam a particular stand-out) are on par with the leads. An absolute delight from bouncy credits to a predictable although satisfying finish.
