Bellenes (UK) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful Ever since I first watched this movie I have rated it as one of the topfilms of all time, it is really funny, all the characters are fantasticand Depardieu is superb as the girls father. This film is certainly onefor the girls - a truly great chick flick! the love interest of course isextremely good looking and will have you working up a sweat! Hurrah for afilm which provides everything a comedy film should do, a real laugh andit should be watched over and over again. Fantastic Comedy - totally hilarious and awesome. August 7, 2006 Uenna (London) 7 out of 10 found this review helpful The saying 'What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive', was never more true than it was in this movie. Nicole (Katherine Heigl) and her father Andre (Gerald Depardieu) gave a hilarious performance in this fantastic comedy. Andre and Nicole's mother are divorced and Andre has not seen Nicole in five years. Nicole is now 14 years old, insecure and resentful of the fact that her father has been absent for the last five years. She blames it on the fact that he has a girlfriend, Isabel in Paris and as such no longer cares about her. While on vacation with Andre in the Caribbean, Nicole meets a local boy and to impress him she tells the most outrageous lie. As the web of lies spin out of control as the story unfolds, poor Andre was treated like a 'pariah' by everyone on the Island without him knowing why. Until Nicole tells him about the lies she told and asks him to play along. This movie is simply hilarious; you will laugh from the beginning to the end. It s also a very emotional and moving comedy, as the movie explores the relationship between an estranged father and his daughter, tests their love for each other and in the experiencing they come to a better understanding and appreciation of each other. This is a beautiful, hilarious and moving comedy. I strongly recommend this DVD. What a film! July 28, 2004 Mrs. K. S. Leeson 2 out of 5 found this review helpful This is a fantastic film. It's very funny, without having to be rude and using bad language. I love this film!! Hilariously Entertaining June 25, 2006 Dismal Angel (Scotland) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful This film is actually a remake - the original was French, but also incidentally starred Gerard Depardieu. br / br /The story begins when Andre, a French pianist, takes his fourteen year old daughter Nicole on a holiday to a tropical paradise. Andre and his wife divorced some years before, and Andre hasn't seen his daughter in a few years - their only contact was by phonecalls and letters. br / br /Andre's life is thrown into complete disarray from the moment he and his daughter are together again. Nicole is not the little girl he remembered; in fact, she's a young woman who is beautiful, tempestuous and yearning for maturity beyond her years. br / br /Nicole meets up with a handsome seventeen year old from the Island by the name of Sam. From the moment they meet, Nicole is smitten, and realising there's no chance with him as an immature fourteen year old, she begins to spin elaborate webs of lies about her age. First she tells him she's eighteen, then later sixteen. And so it begins. br / br /This is a hilarious movie, with some incredibly funny parts (look out for Andre's "thank heaven for little girls" performance on talent night - it's a scream). br / br /At this price, you can't NOT have this DVD. It's a great comedy, and despite the thought of a daughter calling her father her lover is somewhat taboo (even if it is only pretend), the film is still incredibly innocent. br / br /Love this movie. Love it. Fantastic feel good movie April 27, 2004 3 out of 4 found this review helpful A highly amusing character portrayal from the legendary GerardDepardieu...a witty use of dramatic irony leaves the audience feelingengaged and intrigued with the help of some very good laughs (look outparticularly for Depardieu's piano playing!).brAll in all, a great filmfrom start to finish!
