Best movie ever!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ah, watching movies on TV: you take what it gives and in addition, it offers you endless commercial breaks! This one was interesting for me as it features Geraldine who I appreciate a lot. Here, she is really the only one cool character as she plays a funny young girl in love that says the opposite. Except her, it's the biggest collection of stereotypes of modern movies that i have ever seen: Laroque, our french Kidman, is simply awful as she overdoes her gesture, her accent. Like an Allen movie, i'm bored to see those privileged families not happy, not sincere, bad parents and in need of low grade staff. I really don't understand why the Muslim are made fun of. There are too many songs in place of written dialogs and here, we see clearly that since the XXIth, acting means being able to speak in a mobile! So, if you think that's great, this movie is for you but it wasn't for me.

... isn't French for Chick Flick (which of course it isn't) then perhaps it ought to be for this affectionate account of four close-knit girl friends by yet another actress turned writer (15 Aout) turned director Lisa Alessandrin assembles all the standard ingredients, men, domesticity, cosmetics, clothes, etc and allows them to simmer on a low light for just long enough to hold the attention. The highest profile belongs to Michelle Laroque who was, for me at least, the major selling point and to some extent the movie revolves around the Beauty Parlour she runs which makes sense if you're shooting a chick flick. The other three, Aure Atika (also prominent in OSS-117), Valerie Benguigui and Geraldine Nakache are virtually unknown outside France but work well as an ensemble whilst veteran Dora Doll (84 and still going strong, she's also currently in Je Vous trouve tres beau) adds the gravitas of an older generation. Not a lot happens, love rears its ugly head in a couple of cases mostly ending in tears and the four bonds remain unshakable. A pleasant Saturday night entry.

Paris: In the Jewish community four young or middle-aged women are looking for the love of their life. Through ups and downs their friendship will support them enduring the endless struggle with men. These four really different women are Parisian stereotypes, but at the end you'll like each one of them. The many amusing anecdotes and the British touch (Andrew Lincoln whose nice accent is enchanting) give this film a charming aspect. It also draws a funny but true reflection of the Jews nowadays. As for the actresses, they are really great. We should notice Daniel Auteuil's daughter who plays only a small part. Thus "Comme t'y es belle" is entertaining and worth seeing if you want to have a laugh and to listen to nice music.
