We'll Never Have Paris

I don't believe in the low rates people gave to this film. It is an cute romantic comedy, but apparently people like nonsense like Nicholas Sparks and 50 shades of Gray :(

Both actors are believable and endearing. the whole story could happen to anyone deeply in love and this is what makes the film so adorable. I really enjoy watching it.

Oh, and the soundtrack is great too and there are great shots of Paris. Simon Helberg has a great comic timing (we know that from TBBT!) and Melanie Lynskey is one of my favourite actress.

It's really funny to think that this is a fictional version of something that really happened to Simon and his wife.

It's not a bad movie nor a great one. Though it's a common plot, it has it's own uniqueness. I'm not totally OK with the casting though. But the music and the flow kept be bounded throughout.

Heldberg plays a man who has the emotional maturity of a 15-yr-old. He is a musician, he has a long-standing, very nice and dependable girlfriend. Then one day he starts to wonder if it is the right time to seal the relationship. He ends up doing a number of very questionable things and when he realizes he might lose his actions become even more erratic.

Because Heldberg is so good in his 'BBT' role I was curious to see him in something else. I watched it on Amazon streaming movies. Overall a very big disappointment, and especially the resolution. Nothing realistic at all.

This is just trying so hard. They didn't give enough time for the characters to get established. They just jumped into it and expected you to like everyone. I still watched it all the way through...maybe I'm a sociopath.

This took me three goes to get through. The writing feels so self-centered, characters are lacking depth while the lead is annoying to watch..a hypo, fumbling idiot. The film offers no opportunity to connect with the characters, which is a shame considering it's based on a true story.

The comedy feels forced, but with more work on some of the gags and general tightening of the editing and pacing, some of it would have come across better.

Soundtrack and cinematography were forgettable.

It felt like a pet project that wasn't meant for wider distribution, maybe something you show your friends...."remember that time when my relationship went bad, and stuff happened?"
