is the movie I watched this weekend. So sweet and so cute - I was totally enchanted. Trust the French to spin out the most simple of romantic moments into a full blown cinematic experience. The plot goes something like this,
'When Gabriel and Emilie meet by chance he offers her a ride and they spend the evening talking, laughing and getting along famously. At the end of the night Emilie declines Gabriel's offer of a kiss without consequences. Emilie admonishes him that the kiss could have unexpected consequences, and tells him a story unfolding in flashbacks, about the impossibility of indulging your desires without affecting someone else's life.'
If you are in the mood for something light and bubbly, other than champagne, then this romance is just the thing. xv

Sounds like a cute movie. I havn't heard of it before, but I will have to look for it. Hugs, Marty
Thank You for the movie reviews, I think I will. I hope you had a good weekend, have a great week...
This looks like a fun movie. Thank you for recommending it. I love French cinema.
Ahh, yet another of your film recommendations to put on my 'to view' list. I watched 'The Grocer's Son' after you recommended it and totally loved it. Vicki, you're a pretty good film critic for an author! Lee :)
Oh Vicki, this movie is just adorable. I will have to see it when it's available. Thanks for sharing your fantastic find. <3
Oh...but did you say champagne???
This movie looks so cute. Thanks for the suggestion!
Love the poster! It reminds me of a favorite scene from THE GRADUATE -- though the female reaction is quite different,
Vicki this sounds like a fun movie - so much better to sometimes watch a movie to relax and for it to not to be too deep.

Ooh, it sounds perfect, Vicki. I love the way the French celebrate the little moments of life too! xx
This sounds like my type of movie... not so sure about my hubby! Might have to take my sister instead. Can we have the champagne too please?

Sounds delightful!
I'm off to see if I can purchase a copy....Don't you think that a simple story is the best. XXXX
I am always on the look out for fab French films... I hope this come to TV5MONDE America soon!
Virginie Ledoyen is an excellent actress. The last film I saw her in was, "La doublure" so I'm looking forward to seeing her in this film. Thanks so much for this recommendation.
a voir rapidement alors!
bonne semaine

As always, came for my morning dose of French charm. As I was browsing your blog I noticed a link to your book. You know, I didn't realise that THAT book was written by YOU! I feel a little silly at the moment. That book was on my wish list of books and I was going to get next month or so. Oh, now I feel so lucky that I've got a chance to learn more about you here and then read YOUR BOOK, too.
No wonder, your posts are so beautiful and well-written. You are just amazing. x
I do love a bit of frivolity & lightness every now & then at the movies Vicki. Oh & don't tell the kids, but MOTH & I still enjoy a bit of smooch on special occasions (generally after his beloved footy team the Mighty Demons have had a win!). However as they've only won 4 games this Season, the smooches are a bit light on at the moment!

I must say I have bad experiences of French romantic comedies, but I'll try this one when it comes out in cinema in England... I am in need for a bit of light entertainment.
soooooooooooo frenchhhhhhh ;-) how do you understand french manners ? how do you see it ?
Sound like a fun flick! Thanks for sharing, Vicki!
I always love a good French film, I on the other hand saw that Bridgette Jones gal on Sunday,...my she is funny!

Looks like a sweet movie. Something light and nice for a summer evening.
This sounds like a wonderful movie and we'll have to try to find it. We like these kinds of movies too. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sam
Thanks for the suggestion, Vicki. I'll look out for this one when it comes to Montreal.
Looks like fun, I think that we may just have to go and see it :-)

Sounds like a really cute movie! I am so glad you had a relaxing weekend!
PS - Looks like I will be in Aix the 1st week of August, can we still do lunch?
It sounds like my kind of movie!
I'm getting it right away! It sounds wonderful.
I love your blog.

One to add to my list - I love watching French movies. Ax
Looks fun, Vicki. I hope you had a great weekend! XX
sounds cute..
we saw "the proposal" few evenings ago, it too was cute
Hello Vicki
I love movie night, at home is the best...pop corn on the sofa, pause button any time, and my best bud cuddled up close.
Yes, I agree "Shall we Kiss" seems like a light view for the summer.
Thanx,
Tracy
Vicki~
This looks great! I am writing this down right now. My husband and I are addicted to French movies~~they are our saving grace...
Have a fun week!

thanks for the recommendation, i'm adding it to my netflix now!

That looks CUTE... J'adore light and bubbly in my movies and in my glass... I will give it a SIP!!!
Hope all is well with YOU!
Fifi
Oh this sounds absolutely lovely!!!
sounds like the kind of cute movie i love to indulge in! i'll check it out.
sounds like a charming movie!
I read what you said about IL Y A LONGTEMPS QUE JE T'AIME, but I haven't seen it yet. I will soon because I loved THE ENGLISH PATIENT and Kristin Scott Thomas is really great! I just have to confess something to you: I think it's easier for me to express my most profound emotions in a second language,that is in English, than on my own native one, Portuguese. I believe things are lighter in English, especially when the issue is kind of complicated... About SHALL WE KISS? thanks for the idea!
Have a week of good work and good moments...
It sounds like a good movie, intelligent and entertaining. I have to check it out, thanks for the suggestion.
This sounds delightful. I hope I can find it. This past weekend, I watched "The Last Emperor" about Valentino and it was divine.
I like the idea of realising that indulgence of one's desires always affects someone else's life. I'd have kissed fewer boys if I'd known that in my younger days.
Im going to see if I can find it on On Demand. Sounds wonderful
count me in! so...do you eat popcorn when you watch the french movies?
Thanks for sharing.
Merci.
God bless Netflix. Another film to add to my queue. I rely on you so for my French film forays. Merci!!!
Sounds like a fun movie, which is something I'm always in the mood for :)
HEY VICKI..
SOUNDED JULST like the movie i needed to watch for my 23rd wedding anniversary just passed!!
so shall try to get it & watch it retrospectively so to speak!!
xx andrea
Thanks Vicki, I will check if they are available in AUS.
For sake of my French I hope they have it in original. My teacher will be happy.
Have a wonderful week.
