One of the most amazing, down to earth, slice-of-life, realistic yet uplifting romantic comedy but so NOT a romantic comedy that I've seen in years!! Director Zoe Cassavetes (daughter of John Cassavetes) certainly has her father's spirit working through her in this film, but she deftly manages to create her own unique voice at the same time. Crafting a movie about love for the love-disfranchised, she neither holds your hand, nor leaves you lost. A perfectly made film that maintains a beautiful rawness, but at the same time has a more hopeful outlook on life than most of her father's work. This film will still punch you in the gut from time to time, but at least it sits with you while you recover.

A really enjoyable movie with a sense of genuine reality with what can go through the mind of someone who's hopeful yet hopeless at all once with finding love and a sense of self. Parker Posey seriously IS this character; there's no sense that she's merely acting. There's enough quirky humor and a sense of honesty in the film to keep the viewer from ever being drowned in complete sorrow, but this movie never treads where so many romantic movies do. The movie sucked me in from the intro scene and it amazed me how fast the time passed! Great :)

If you believe in the magic of love, the synchronicity of fate, and the hope that you can have the love that your heart desires, go see this movie. If you no longer belive in those things, see it repeatedly. This movie is a beautiful portrayal of the belief and longing for love (and life), the fear of it, and the necessity of trusting one's feelings over pretending.

to say i enjoyed broken english would be an understatement. this movie struck home with me like few others. a bit slow for your average audience, i found it was wonderfully acted, awkward, painful, poignant, sad, realistic, and thankfully not your typical hollywood ending! parker posey is fantastic as a sometimes neurotic, pensive, emotional and desperate woman who feels as though she'll be alone forever. my favorite scenes are the bathtub, the restaurant/desert/bathroom scene and the one where she's finally let it go and decided to have fun despite it all when her and her girlfriend are in paris. one of my top favorite movies!

Parker Posey finally gets a great part in this great little movie that is one of the best movies I've seen this year; I know, that's not saying a lot in a year of disappointing movies, but here is a fun movie for people with a brain. It's a little on the dark side, a little romantic, it's got Paris, and a very cute, but not puke-cute, French guy. GO, my boyfriend liked it too! So there. And we had discussions about it afterwards, it's a good one, don't let it get away....oui oui?
