Criticism
" Endearing comedy about romantic and chaotic, although not quite unfold the directorial ease of Woody Allen classics, however well maintains. "
" With her debut as a director Sophie Lellouche [ ... ] not only proves comedic skills, she also achieves a wonderful genuflection before their big idol Woody Allen. The could not resist, even einzusprechen the comments and eventually even to surprise her with a guest appearance. Allen fans will also love these values homage like, especially since Patrick Bruel again delivers a brilliant performance. "
" The now following squabbles [ ... ] may not be as original as the larger model, and yet Sophie Lellouche is an amusing and entertaining tribute to Woody Allen succeeded. This is mainly due to the sparkling dialogue and the good-humored performers. The beautiful Alice Taglioni convinced as charmingly chaotic Stadtneurotikerin, Patrick Bruel as endearingly mischievous realist who conquered the demanding dreamer yet. "
"Whoever some other romantic comedies like or have always wondered how Woody Allen would be in French, can be quite time make a stopover in the city of love. The real story is indeed quite simple and predictable, but there are a lot of bizarre characters, good actors and launched charming situation comedy. "
