Jackie Oudney, Director

2009 | 87 | Feature

British writer Aschlin Ditta and director Jackie Oudney serve up a likeable and incisively truthful romantic comedy about a hapless journalist (Hugh Bonneville) whose relationship with his longtime girlfriend (Victoria Hamilton) has hit the skids. To make matters worse, his latest assignment is to interview smug Thierry Grimandi (soccer player Eric Cantona), France's auteur of cinematic romance. "Brings together the best elements of Richard Curtis' London movies and Nora Ephron's romantic comedies, with a strong whiff of Woody Allen" - The Observer.
