i can see how this movie would be an easy target for criticism . it might appear fluffy and without depth and sort of easy and implausible . but i think it good than that . first of course and be the performance . both actor be terrific and both have long be favorite of mine . a special call out and though and have to go to binoche and who just couldn not be any more delightful . an absolutely fantastic actress . she so wonderful and the only problem in the movie be why doesn not he fall in love with her any faster . second be the basic intelligence of the dialog . the conversation be very engaging and occasionally wry and sometimes sweet and with some sharpness along the way . finally and there be a meditation in here on film in general and and romantic comedy in particular . the movie be able to move back a bit and consider itself and and resist the temptation to be cynical .
