Remake of Hollywood script?
14 October 2007
It begins in a quite French comedy way. It's the cleaning girl who lives under the roof, the extremely nerdy young Parisian aristocrat and the young soft macho chef aspirant. They come together and it could have been both entertaining and thought inspiring.

But it turns into feel-good in a manner which is worse than most Hollywood remakes. Audrey Tautou doesn't have that variation in her acting that you now can demand. Or does the take the wrong parts? Guillaume Canet as the young chef is better.

But the story is too simple, looking at the big market in the West too much. You don't feel as good from this as was intended.
