I really enjoyed this film, a lovely story about how we lose what's important in life when we chase the money. Not an original plot, but one which deserves re-telling and with this cast and script a very worth while addition to the Genre. The comedy moments generally add to the overall film, and whilst its no 'Sideways' nonetheless there are enough bitter-sweet moments to carry the film along. I guess it didn't do too well at the box-office but I suppose that's more of a sad reflection on the conditioning of the cinema going public who are fed on a diet light in dialogue but swamped in violence and CGI. Nevertheless it is beautifully shot and really invokes a sense of memories long hidden in French summers past.
