Rating: 4/5I am very pleased to be able to say that I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. It has a very warming glow to it - beautifully played; gorgeously shot. Anyone who isn't just a little bit seduced by Provence after seeing it needs their head (or more likely their heart) examining. The lessons may well have been taught in a hundred films before, but that doesn't make them any less relevant or resonant for the commercial era in which many of us now live.
I enjoyed this movie, it had class and character with some lovely ladies. Also I enjoyed the London footage with the contrast against France. All things seemed to fit, and it was evident in last encounter with Crowe and his French girl from the scene of when he was a boy at the pool. Great romantic portrayal of an English French relationship. The movie also maintained a good level of humor encased with good vocabulary.
A "Great" date movie. The local scenery should definitely be seen on the "big" screen as well as on a DVD! Tho not "Oscar" caliber" it is why most film goers go to the movies; pure entertainment and escapism. Ridley and Crowe have achieved that goal. A "Great" date movie.

Who is in the film?
It sounds really good.
Have you seen the foreign film called
"The Perfume Murderer?" (on dvd).
It's a french or Italian film with subtitles of course. A great crime with a great scent.
lol!
Russell Crowe stars in this one. I think i have seen the Perfume Murderer.
This one is on my Top 10 List, altho I found it a bit hard to accept Russell Crowe in the lead role. But once I did, he was great! Marion Cotillard ('08 Academy Award winner for "La Vie En Rose") was the girl. She was good, too. As was Abbie Cornish, the CA girl. And I just loved Ludivine Duflot (the maid) played by Isabelle Candelier. A wonderful movie!
