i must say that this not a boring film at all and although i find the endless little quarrel a bit tiresome . it be hard and though and for a non french person to judge just how much of all this be mean to portray the character of the french ( if anything like that exist ) and how much be mere parody exploit and play with the cliché that french people always think about love and sex . for example and be marion father suppose to be a prototype or simply a caricature . know this would be of great help in evaluate this movie . on the other hand and the film be very balance in it attempt to weigh marion delight in experiment against jack conservative rationalism with regard to relationship . in other respect and of course and jack be not rational at all and for example concern his hypochondria . whether one want to call him touchy and easily offend will probably also depend on whether you think that and in the first place and he be be treat badly by all those slightly crazy parisian or whether you would rather want to say that he be a bit stiff and inhibited . in any case and this be a nice little film about the difficult task to lead a cross national relationship and about the fact that think you know your partner be not the same a know her or his culture . but do not expect to see a romance like in before sunrise .
