Kaikki rakkaudelle

A typical romantic comedy with atypical premise. I think that is what every new romcom needs today to get the audience’s attention. However, for me it lacked the humor part. Although Franck Dubosc tried his best, and in some scenes, it is really apparent, I did not really get the humor. At least the film is partly saved by the romantic atmosphere, however, as the viewer knows it is created out of a horrible lie, I did not really have a reason to root for it. (03.06.2019)

While Hollywood hasn't come up with a good romantic comedy in the last couple of years, the French are back in the royal chair again, coming up with an idea that is original, unorthodox and sufficiently engaging. Franck Dubosc is superb as director, writer and lead actor, and he presents a typically high-powered man who would love to snap up any woman that catches his eye, even at the cost of pretending to be in a wheelchair. Praise also goes to the very likeable Alexandra Lamy and the delightful stretch from Prague. It's more of a romance, there's less humour, but the final twist and the mad rush of emotions more out of poignancy and excitement absolutely drained me mentally. Any film that can make me laugh, cry and surprise deserves an automatic 4*. The music is also great. 80% (28.09.2018)

The beginning and the ending didn't exactly thrill me, but otherwise, I had a good time through most of it. For example, my eyes were pleased by the beautiful pool scene, my ears enjoyed the pleasant music, and on top of it all, I occasionally laughed heartily. I'm sure I'll watch this rather original romantic comedy again sometime. (75%) (07.06.2021)
