I don't understand the negative reviews, it's completely obvious the plot and style of this film are going to be a certain way, it'll flow, maybe a few twists but I genuinely am astounded what some people were expecting of a film that delivers exactly what it said it was.
I'm a 35 year old male and definitely not the target demo but I love it, it was feel good, amusing, wholesome film that only Britain can seem to do. It was sweet, charming and made you feel warm. It dealt with the class difference well and it was nice to see French people portrayed as nice for a change.
The chemistry was great, I loved everything except one thing, it felt like 15 minutes was cut from the film, when she leaves Paris to come home, I felt that was rushed, I'd have liked to see the goodbyes and how people had settled to the new regime. It was briefly covered later but I thought that segment felt really rushed when the rest of the film built at a slower pace.
It's never really a criticism to want more of a film though. The lead was awesome, so natural, believable and likeable, the casting was genuinely great! I didn't recognise many. Bits are laugh out loud but it's more of a film to warm your heart. So if you feel a bit low, this is a great watch.
