A cute little French romance. Young and joyous characters, some funky editing, a slightly more edgy pop soundtrack, and a summery location make this a very agreeable film. I'll say that it has aged a bit, and it isn't quite as slick and snazzy as it used to be, but it's still an easy and entertaining watch.
The performances are fun, the cinematography is playful, and even though there's a bit of drama to keep the plot going, it's all quite light and frivolous. Even when it touches upon some more serious themes. Not quite the experience I remembered it to be, but I'm looking forward to revisiting the sequel soon.
