Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Justin RCute Will Rogers comedy that predictably makes Paris society look like much less fun than hanging out with the country bumpkins in Claremore, Oklahoma.
User Review - 4/10 by Aj VAs predictable and boring as a movie, about a family poor who strikes it rich and moves to Paris, can be. It's not funny or dramatic really, but the actors aren't too bad. Overall I didn't like it.
