Unbelievably and with a miscasted leading actress
1 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Diane Kruger is a beautiful woman, but she has not the tiniest sense for comedy. Her timing is bad and in this production she is not able to create believable emotions. I am sure, that she is a wonderful actress, but for this role she just does not fit. I know, that this is a romantic comedy and that I can not expect a great story, but this one COULD be a good story but failed to deliver. They could have taken more time to get rid of the plot holes and make the story more believable. The acting was OK, Dany Boon is as likable as always. Alice Pol should have played the leading role, because of her comedy talent. Her screen moments were the best minutes of the film. The transformation from the focused dentist to the fun loving and vodka drinking adventurer was just not believable. And that was my main problem with this movie. I can accept flying elephants, speaking unicorns and extra terrestrials that want to phone home when the script and the acting work together. At least I had a night out with my wife.
