Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

dromasca Writing the review of a movie two weeks later is an exercise that I should try more often. 'Casee-tete Chinois' is one of the two movies I have seen before I went to a vacation where other priorities pushed aside writing about movies. The last installment in the series of director Cedric Klapisch , starring Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou and Cecile De France was the least memorable of the two lighter summer comedies that I found appropriate for the mood and the times.The film does have a lot of ingredients that would possibly make a success possible and even probable. A team of actors that now should not only know each other so well that the director needs only to raise an eyebrow in order to make things happen but who obviously enjoy acting together, and bringing on screen the romantic issues of their generation. A couple of kids who like almost any couple of kids steal the show as long as they are on screen and provide an emotional justification for the plot. Paris for a bit and Manhattan for most of the time - allegedly the best background for movies that directors and viewers could ask for.And yet, the result is only half satisfying.It may be that the plot of the French immigrant trying to settle in New York was brought to screen once too many? I can remember a few other such features (yes, some of the candidates to America may not have been French) starting with 'Green Card' starring Gérard Depardieu, and Andie MacDowell back in 1990. If the theme is back on screen maybe what is missing is some new and fresh angle in the infinite possibilities of approaching cultural gaps. Variations is a legitimate musical or cinematographic genre, but it needs to bring something new to be special. This film starts with a divorce, ends with a wedding, I am so happy to see Audrey Tautou happy and denying with a new film her intentions to quit acting, but the result is unconvincing entertainment. Maybe too many ingredients for a feel-good movie brought together do not necessarily make a good feel-good movie.

Aerig Meginlu It's very watchable and, at 7/10, a definite, must watch for people who like gentle human comedy. It loses on an 8+ score from being slightly disjointed.For those that have seen the previous movies this will definitely be an 8+, though ...For starters, Audrey Tautou finally appears for more than 5 minutes. Raomin is, at last, not cast as a brainlessly immature asshole - even though he remains a zanily unpredictable persona. Jill, erm Kelly, actually comes across as if she almost finally grew up. And Ju is as adorable as ever as the eternal mother figure.Humorous sarcasm aside, this film has all the qualities of its predecessors in being utterly human in its portrayals of the characters and wittily, if somewhat cynically, insightful in its portrayal of their circumstances.If you want to watch a film that makes you more inclined to like humanity than to hate it, then you will smile your way through this one.

Andrew Morrison A very entertaining movie. Romantic comedy. French with subtitles.Inappropriate for young people - lots of bad language, sex, and one violent scene.Excellent cast including Romain Duris, Audrey Tatou, Cecile De France, and Kelly Reilly.40 year old author's life keeps getting more and more complicated - an ex-girlfriend and another ex-girlfriend and a gay girl friend and her girlfriends and the first one's kids and the second one's kids and the third one's kid - several of which are his - and the City of New York stars in in this one.Try it. I liked it.

emily clark I haven't seen the two previous movies by the same director and actors preceding this one, but all by itself I loved this one. It is funny, witty, interesting and unusual. I understand the previous two movies portrayed the lives of characters at an earlier age. Now they are around 40 years of age, they are in NYC and they have different set of problems. I participated in a Q&A with the director at the end of the movie and I understand what he is trying to portray is a generation of people who are more mobile, who aren't afraid of mixing with different cultures, live in different countries, deal with the challenges presented by this new country. Movie has a very very positive, upbeat look at things. And it is very refreshing to have this positive outlook considering how many movies feeds of drama and difficulties almost to a degree, which makes them unrealistic. Life is not so bad and things don't go that bad in real life. You might get lucky at things. This movie has a positive, realistic look at life. I could easily relate to it. Loved it, highly recommend it. Especially if you want to laugh a bit and feel good about life. And there is nothing wrong with that.
