Set in the drab suburbs of Paris, The Stroller Strategy doesn’t even offer pretty backdrops.

What most rankles about the film is the way that its insistence on paternal instincts as the principal signifier of male adulthood leads it to sanction the most childlike behavior of all.

It's a goofy, episodic trifle designed to induce swoons among the saccharine who coo every time they see a cute guy, or a baby, or a cute guy holding a baby while watching YouTube videos about how to change a diaper.

Mostly you root for Mr. Michel’s couple to reconnect simply so the movie will come to an end.
