Freddy's Movie Review
***SPOILER ALERT***

A Soothing and Charming Comedy


FREDDY:
This is a very soothing and beautiful movie. It relaxed me. It's charming, and très drôle sometimes. Agnès Jaoui did an amazing job.

Humorous Situations and Great Chemistry


FREDDY:
Castella's first English exercise can make you roll on the floor laughing. Be careful. The dialogues and situations are very humorous. I especially liked the moments with the bodyguard and the chauffeur.

Feeling SophistiquΓ©


FREDDY:
Now that I've watched this French flick, I feel more sophistiquΓ©, my dear aunt. I think that this one will definitely attract more mademoiselles to the blog! Thanks for showing me this. Alright subtitle fearing people, fear no more, because coming up next, it's JURASSIC WOOORLD.

Freddy's Score

75/100
