L'Amour au pied du mur

Well, it was a romantic comedy, so if anyone expected a plot that would challenge their intellect or offer a surprising twist, they might have misunderstood the genre. I got exactly what I signed up for: a predictable, sometimes cute, often clichéd story that didn't exactly sweep me off my feet but didn't leave me cringing either. The main heroine was quite likable, and it was a surprise to learn she wasn't actually an actress (explains the singing!). The main hero, on the other hand, fit the neglected and worn-out role just right. Despite the story being somewhat weak and bordering on silly, I found myself not minding spending an hour and a half with it. That's probably why I'm giving it three stars. / Lesson learned: Got noisy neighbors? Invest in some soundproofing. (15/04/2024)
