20 ans d'écart

... if the lead actress Virginie Efira was made of lava...she would not be any hotter. In fact scrap this the only way you could make her less hot would be to pour lava on her that would cool things down; Somebody in one of the other reviews used the Word sultry that very much Covers it.

Okay so we have one of the sexiest Belgian actresses ever seen on film actually she's mostly Greek she is this rare entity the Greek-Belgian goddess; I think 99.9% of men will agree and probably most women ... now then we have a younger man Pierre Niney but this is where we need to get into mathematics who are we trying to kid here?

The film was made in 2013 so by my calculations lead actress here was 36 years old. That is probably 10 years too young to be playing a cougar. As regards the young man Pierre he was then 24 years old Just a smidgeon too old to be a greenhorn university student

Maybe not but the difference between the two whicheverway you cut it is only 12 years and since most people watching this film will be adults they can tell the difference between somebody half the other's age like maybe in the case of the father Charles Berling in the story here with the girl the young man used to go to school with that is a clear difference in age but 12 years cmon

So that bit is really not plausible.

The story is boilerplate romantic comedy whether a US French any country it makes no difference it is always the same oh shock horror they shouldn't be together then they are then they fall out and they make up Yawn yawn yawn yawn

But it doesn't matter because the acting of both of the main characters and some of the ancillary is really awesome and quite frankly personally I could watch Virginie doing the washing up tidying the house going for a walk reading the bible looking into space Performing surgery i would be a happy Viewer. Can we say these things in 2022? Yes I suppose we can...

The young man is very good some people accusing Him of overreacting towards the end but that is quite good what he does there; he is on the register of the Comédie-Française And you do not get in there by accident

• Overall this is really really amusing extremely entertaining Paris as in most films with Paris in them is like a third character here and it is gorgeous as always so if you want something which doesn't tax your mind if you want to see one of the most beautiful actresses in action knock yourself out
• This is not Kierkegaard or Heidegger this is a romantic comedy...

A light comedy (so what are the heavy ones? Probably the ones that end badly!) That works, well one might say because it's French. In fact, as Italians, it is impossible not to think how an Italian director, perhaps of the new generation, perhaps of the age of Moreau (evocative surname), born in 1976, would be treated as such. Long premise to say that romantic-sentimental comedy goes well with the French cinematographic tradition, a little less with the Italian one, with few exceptions, more aimed at comedy. However, the film holds up, in the staging, in the acting, in the musical commentary ... and, perhaps in a pandering way, in the finale. And in the end it puts you in a good mood, which is no small feat!

This movie is a perfect example that theese relationships (younger man - older woman) can work. For me, this movie is a solid 10. Awesome acting from both of them and you can really feel the romantic vibe between them. For me this is the best romance movie of this type that i ever saw!

A fair good French comedy. Not very good, not very bad. The main actress is gorgeous and you don't believe a single minute she is 38, but the difference gap works well in the movie. I would recommend it for a cold night. If you don't have a lot of expectations, c'est marrant (you'll have fun!)

..there's a lot going on in this quirky-cute, little ninety minute rom-com... actually is a fan-com (fantasy comedy).. because there's absolutely no way in any known universe where the likes of this incredible 'woman' would be completely unattached, and be hooking up with this 'kid'.. it's a charming but totally predictable script, with an ending that holds true to form, but the film does work because of these two lead characters.. especially Virginie Efira.. she is a bona-fide star, and there's not one scene in the movie when she's on-screen that you can take your eyes off her.. she's just gorgeous.. and has acting talent to go along with her alluring beauty..
