Une fille qui a du chien

I'm a comedy-lover... I truly believe there ain't anything better than getting breathless while spending 1 hour and a half in front of a TV...

I do like strong and dramatic movies, but comedy is my real passion...

The bad thing about comedies, though, is that the more you watch them, the harder it gets to laugh at the next ones.

I've watched this movie twice, maybe, and now I'm watching it for the third time... I'm laughing at jokes I've already seen, and I'm not particularly dumb today, at least I think so...

I'm not a Spade fan either, but sometimes he just makes it.

Plus, I really hate some romantic comedies, with pauses on jokes for girlie scenes (sorry girls for the sexism...) Spade and Marceau have managed to turn even these scenes into funny tirades...

I recommend. Not the best comedy ever, but I give it a 7.

It made me recover from my disgust with romantic Hollywood comedies after that Aniston-Vaughn flick which I wanted so much to watch, just to get disappointed later.

The idea of David Spade being cast in a romantic comedy opposite french beauty Sophie Marceau is a real head-scratcher. But the movie sort of works. Spade plays Dylan, a restaurant owner who's hot for his new neighbor Lila Dubois (Sophie Marceau). Just by looking at the poster of this movie, it's pretty clear that Lila is totally out of Dylan's league. Dylan realizes this when Lila's rich ex-boyfriend, Rene (Patrick Bruel), shows up. So, to impress Lila and make her forget about her ex, he kidnaps her dog and plans to become a hero by returning it to her later.

Despite the lack of any real chemistry between Spade and Morceau and the rather silly plot,'Lost & Found' can be entertaining. You just have to suspend belief and not really think while watching. But still I'd take 'Lost & Found' over any other flops by other former SNL clowns, did anyone say 'Corky Romano'.

Rating: (6/10)

Who would have thought that SNL alumni David Spad could prove worthy of a romantic lead? Well, he pulls off the romantic underdog so well that I couldn't help fall in love with him. Spade plays a resteraunt owner who falls for his next door neighbor. Some of the best scenes in the film are between Spade and his single white female like friend played by Arte Lange. Also, keep an eye out for some tv veterans like Marla Gibs(The Jeffersons), Rose Marie(Dick Van Dyke Show) and Estelle Harris(Seinfeild). Martin Sheen also makes a cameo in what is perhaps the memorable scene in the film. The scene, in which Spade gives an enjoyable rendition of Neil Diamonds "Brother Loves Show", will go down in my film history as "Best use of a Neil Diamond song in the film", next to the men in "Beautiful Girls" when they sing "Sweet Caroline", but I digress. I love this film. "Lost & Found" is great for anyone who has ever felt like the romantic underdog. Don't miss this one.

Lost and Found: boy meets girl, boy wants girl, boy kidnaps girl's dog to get close to her, but cheating ex-fiance who wants girl back is determined to foil boy. Amazingly enough this is the actual plot (there is a sub-plot involving a struggling restaurant and a lost ring…). This movie is pure Hollywood formula, with very little originality and several noticeable lulls. What is even more amazing is that this movie is actually funny.

In his first solo film outing David Spade does not ask us to make a big leap of faith -Dylan Ramses could have been any character from his SNL days, or Dennis from Just Shoot Me. This translates into some snappy, sarcastic, and funny dialogue. Sophia Marceau as Lila Dubois is gorgeous and vulnerable when she needs to be - exactly what is expected of her. Jon Lovitz also adds a few laughs as a vet with special talents.

If you are in for some light humor, without violence, coarse language and nudity (okay, one male behind) this movie may be for you. But hold off until Tuesday night, or better yet, wait the three weeks it will take to move to the second run theaters (of course there's always video).

So, here I was watching HBO, when I saw that a sweet comedy was going t pass on Sunday night. I got interested, I love romantic comedies and it's nice to watch something light, once and a while.

The guy I knew from a tv show, but the woman didn't look strange, so I look closer and I saw it was someone I knew. I had to check it up at the magazine and I was very surprised, it was really her.

I'm a big fan of Sophie Marceau, she is very beautiful and talented. I've seen her in movies like Braveheart, Anna Karenina and Firelight and she was always magnificent. They were all very difficult parts, very dense and emotional.

But this movie is about a slim short guy who falls in love with his beautiful successful neighbour. He doesn't know what to do to get to know her . He tried to return her dog everytime it runs away, but everytime he only gets a thank you from her. So, he had this idea, hide the dog for a couple of hours and ask her to take a walk with him and try to find it. The plan goes well, he makes she think he's funny and charming, they have a good time. But, when he supposed to return the dog, he finds out that he can't. From this point on, it's just a lot of confusion and funny situations.

David Space is great, the star of "Just Shoot Me" plays a part very similar with Finch, Sophie is not just beautiful and talented, but also very funny. And the script is okay. Although it's a little predictable, it's also charming and convincing. I mean, we believe that the hot neighbour can actually fall in love with the unactractive sweet guy.

The movie doesn't want to be more than a good entertainment and it succeeds. Great chance to have good laughs and see a different Sophie Marceau.
