Review
Michel Lang directed this light-hearted but otherwise inconsequential sex comedy which
pokes fun at the French on holiday. It’s low key, fairly predictable fare, with
some obvious jokes and more than a few moments of tedium. However, it has certain
charm, particularly in the way it compares the amorous adventures of different generations,
and there are several memorable scenes which succeed in mixing farce and bitter-sweet
depictions of those short-lived romances of youth.
