Under the Eiffel Tower

We liked it. Yes, it is predictable, and follows a pretty standard plot line. But, the acting is adequate, and the actors make it fun. Yes, the drink a lot of wine, but it is set mostly in a vineyard, after all.

I stumbled upon this film flipping channels and found it interesting to watch to the end. It's another of the road trip in Europe movies that I love ("Under the Tuscan Sun", "Paris Can Wait"). Well now we have "Under the Eiffel Tower" and I am eagerly expecting the yet to be written and filmed "Sesso Can Wait". While Eiffel is cliche and predictable and has been done hundreds of times before, it's still fun to watch with the goofy characters, the sometimes embarrassing plots, and the gorgeous picturesque countryside of Bordeaux. With some much wine drinking going on I felt like getting up and pouring myself a glass but it was nearly midnight. Yep, 7 stars for at least trying to be a great picture and just being entertaining even though it didn't make a lot of sense.

The film I believe is called under the Eiffel tower because that's where the story starts. Doesn't anybody remember at the beginning when everybody was in France and they were under the Eiffel tower? I won't go into detail because I don't want to include a spoiler.

Attention span of these reviewersis incredibly brief. That's the only reason why people missed this.

Why did Matt Reid's character have to be Scottish ? It is so bad that however pleasant the film is, and Matt Walsh is excellent, it ruins the film by being so distracting. It's a fine rom com with Veep buddies but alas I can't get over the accent which is a different accent on almost every other word!

I really enjoyed the premise and the way the story moves in France. The main male actor and the actress both deliver really well. There were romantic moments in the movie which are definitely the highlight. Yes, the sudden rather quick ending could have been gradual but not complaining. Don't go by the low rating here. It's an enjoyable romantic comedy.
