Under the Eiffel Tower

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.

If I could give this movie a negative score, it would be minus 10. Poor plot, poor writing, terrible acting, and no direction at all. Even the title, Under The Eiffel Tower, had nothing to do with the film. It's hard to believe that money was spent on such a worthless project. Happily, it didn't cost me any money to suffer through this uninspired waste of time. Save your money, save your time, save yourselves!!! Stay away from this film.

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. Strangely about 20% of the IMDB votes are "1" which is bogus. While it isn't a great movie it has some nice elements and is mostly entertaining.

The title refers to a botched marriage proposal, a 50-ish man, a family friend, proposes to a 26-yr-old daughter under the Eiffel Tower, after mistaking her friendship for a romantic interest. Properly embarrassed he decides to wander randomly into France, ending up in the wine region near the city of Bordeaux. On the train he meets a pretty French lady who, it turns out, is co-owner of a really nice vineyard. In turn he convinces his boss back in Kentucky that their company should buy the vineyard. But he really wants to have the lady.

In reality it is a small fluff of a movie but is decently entertaining. Don't trust any reviews that claim it is a "1" or a "10".

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.
