SnoopyStyle Violette (Julie Delpy) is a 45 year old modern Parisen high-powered fashion producer. She is divorced with teen son Eloi nicknamed Lolo. She can't find a good man anywhere and has given up. Her flirtatious friend Ariane pulls her into a spa vacation in the country. They meet up a couple of guys and she starts dating naive nice guy Jean-René Graves. He's also divorced with a child and little experience in dating. Outwardly, Lolo is chummy with JR but secretly, he's working to sabotage the relationship.Anything with Delpy is elevated by her presence. She needs a charismatic lead to be her opposite. The character may be bland but the actor shouldn't be. Lolo's evil ways are funny at first but the ending turns too dark. As the director, Delpy needs to maintain the tone better than that. Lolo becomes less comedic and more psycho. This has Delpy and a little fun but not that great.

Caro I liked the freshness of this film. The actors' game is adapted And rather successful: Dany Boon and Julie Delpy are all very pleasant And sympathetic, while Vincent Lacoste still plays The role of the unbearable boy. Good little comedy that begins.The idea of ​​departure is interesting: the bobo that takes of love for A "provincial" in Biarritz, it does not matter if he is not a member of Social circle. However, I found the end disappointing: he Can not succeed modestly in the province, we find it rich Computer engineer at the city ... Bof, we will go back for an analysis and Interesting conclusion, far from the usual stereotypes about the search for happiness.

tambourinist I'm a Julie Delpy fan, "Two days in Paris" is one of my favourite movies of all times. This film, however, is impossible to watch.It's incredibly predictable, the humour is silly and you've seen all the gags in plenty of (bad) films before.The storyline is not credible at all. Even if you're not looking for sophisticated humour, just want some slapstick laughs, this film is simply not very funny. I watched it in the dubbed version, maybe it's slightly better in the French original, although to be honest, I don't think so, given how bad the storyline and the jokes are.The acting is OK, but it can't save the film.

subxerogravity I've seen Lolo before. A young man raised by a single mother does not like it when eligible suitors comes sniffing around his MILF. So when a IT tech becomes his mother's love interest, Lolo stops at nothing to break these two apart. The french version of this story starts out as just a young man talking crap to convince his mom that this man is not right for her. Then it escalates to the extreme when Lolo makes The IT tech his victim. That's were the comedy comes it as well.It's not different from an American comedy in how it escalates, except that the this french film realizes it does not need to got too over the top with the comedy to be laugh out loud funny. If you ever seen such movie as Cyrus or Mr. Woodcock than you'll like this movie. It's the same style of comedy. One exception is the focus on the perspective of Julie Delpy's character, Violette, a 40 year old woman who still in the dating game looking for love. I seen the movie done from Lolo's perspective as the selfish son who will do anything to keep the cord attached to his mother, and I've seen it from Jean-René's perceptive as a man dating a woman too good to be true, and then discovers she got some baggage she loves too much too see as baggage. Violette's view does bring some freshness to the movie.It was a subtle comedy, at least by American standards, but it is very effective.
