Leave your thoughts about Paris-Manhattan.
| Movie NationRoger MooreParis-Manhattan is an amusing little nothing of a movie built around the wit and wisdom of Woody Allen. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateThis beautifully shot French romantic comedy about a Woody Allen-obsessed pharmacist struggling to find love in Paris is passionately directed, emotionally engaging and absolutely charming. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeCertainly a charming and genial tribute to Allen, it just isn't quite as accomplished or ingenious as his work. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisShallow, witless but pretty enough French ode to Woody Allen. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThis fizzy romantic comedy is slight but charming and perks up considerably when Allen himself makes an appearance. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotThis attempt to Re-Play It Again, Sam isn't nearly as amusing as Allen's early, funny films. Mind you, neither is Allen nowadays. |
| The ListEddie HarrisonLellouche does herself no favours by wearing such influences on her sleeve, yet her cast are game, the locations look great, and the whole enterprise has an agreeably frothy touch. |
| 3AWJim SchembriFirst-time director Sophie Lellouche keeps this puff pastry-thin piece of romantic fluff as light and inconsequential as it needs to be. |
| Globe and MailDave McGinnThe premise of Paris-Manhattan is simple enough; unfortunately, so is everything else about writer-director Sophie Lellouche’s debut feature film. |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaEd GibbsAs light and airy as a soufflé, but not without charm. Taglioni and Bruel are both convincing as the reluctant lovers who just might embrace the inevitable. |
