We'll Never Have Paris

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.

My First review, I had to bring this to peoples attention… The most disappointing thing about this movie is that the trailer looks exceptional while the movie falls flat.

My wife and I chose this unfortunate choice over a choice of 3 other "RomComs", needless to say we chose the wrong one. Helberg should stay in the Sitcoms where he is not the headliner, his breathing in the movie is very distracting and the acting is somewhat painful to watch.

In the end I decided 15 minutes before the end that I could not take it anymore and went to bed….. early.

There were a few mildly funny bits but the movie tends to distract from this very quickly with the serious notes.

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.

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?"

The title of the review says it all really. Strong cast. Some very funny scenes and one liners. If you don't like Simon Helberg you'll hate it but I like him. He's a guy who will do anything for a laugh and I have to respect that.
