Sophie Marceau delivers the cringe in this clunkingly bad LA dating comedy: tin-eared, cliched, unfunny and misjudged in every horribly unconvincing syllable, sadly sounding as if it has been written by someone who has never been to Los Angeles or met any human beings.
Marceau plays Lisa, a film director (supposedly), who was scarred in childhood by the neglect of a glamorous mother. (Writer-director Lisa Azuelos has apparently based this on her own mother, Marie Laforêt, a singing star who also acted opposite Alain Delon in Plein Soleil). Now a divorcee with grownup kids, Lisa finds that her mum’s death has freed her emotionally to start a new life in a touristically imagined LA in the full Eat-Pray-Love-be-annoying sense.
