It may be stuck in the past, with its hoary clichés about the call girl with the heart of gold and the incurable romantic, but the whole thing fizzes with such joie de vivre that the anachronisms only add to its overwhelming charm. Read full review

Plotted as a round robin of dalliances and coincidences, it’s relationship comedy as weightless movement, meaning that something is always happening, but that none of it matters a damn bit. Read full review

This movie has good actors. The directing has a nice throwback style to it which is refreshing. While the movie is fine, it is also a very forgettable.
