Either I'm getting smarter or movies are getting dumber. I love Audrey Tatou and was really looking forward to watching another of her movies but this one was just not really...there. I couldn't even finish watching it.
I thought it was original and interesting to have Jean be a burnout doing handy work but the res to the movie, well, I just couldn't really believe it. Emilie's mother follows Jean, rather closely, all the way from her house to the salon and the guy doesn't turn around even once. Her hair is disheveled, she's in a nighty and she's wearing no shoes, and yet nobody stares, not even a single glance. That simply does not happen in France.
A few minutes after she walks out of the salon she goes back in and all the customers who were in the middle of getting their hair cut are suddenly gone. This sort of thing happened too often so I just lost interest.
