Summary: If you're in love with ROMANCE this if for YOU.
Review: What a wonderful movie experience this was. Some say the plot is implausible. Maybe so but this is a MOVIE... Let go of your analytical mind and just sit back and be romanced for a change.

There are some very funny moments as Julliette Binoche takes on William Hurts psyciatric practice in order to make money to spend while in New York.

Get some bon bons and a glass of your favorite wine and indulge.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A delightful romantic comedy - very feelgood
Review: William Hurt and Juliette Binoche make a very likeable (thought unexpected) duo in this fun, escapist romantic comedy.
The premise for the story is quite far-fetched - a New York psychiatrist (William Hurt) does an "apartment swap" with a Parisian dancer (Juliette Binoche.) Neither gets what they expected, and soon their paths cross in a series of quirky encouters which lead to romance.
Both actors are very likeable in this film, with Juliette Binoche dispaying here usual "zest for life" style which is very endearing - quite reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.
The dialogue throughout the file is a mix of English and French, which gives it a very enjoyable European/continental flavour - something cosmopolitan viewers will like. It's a movie that is much more "French" than "American" in style - something you'll either love or won't, depending on your personal taste.
If you enjoyed "The Accidental Tourist" or "Forget Paris" you will most certainly find this refreshing and relaxed romantic comedy a pleasure to watch.
