More "vague" than "nouvelle", this Rohmeresque wannabe is actually a quintessentially British romantic comedy from the Curtis school. Hugh Bonneville is the fogeyish critic researching for an interview with a French director (Eric Cantona) with celebrated views on l'amour, who comes to question whether he has ever really loved longtime partner Victoria Hamilton. However, it takes the revelation that old pal Douglas Henshall has been unfaithful to girlfriend Anne-Marie Duff for Bonneville to realise where his heart truly lies. Complete with knowingly stylised clips from Cantona's masterpieces and copious cutaways to his pseudo-significant aphorisms, Jackie Oudney's feature debut is as charmingly cine-literate as it is genially enjoyable. But Aschlin Ditta's plot-heavy screenplay fails to develop Bonneville's bourgeois bumbler with any depth, and the movie's surfeit of chatterati caricatures and clichés makes it just a teensy bit smug.
