Product Description
Hugh Bonnneville (Downton Abbey, Notting Hill), Eric Cantona (Looking for Eric, Elizabeth), Douglas Henshall (Primeval) and Anne-Marie Duff (Nowhere Boy) star in the hilarious British romantic-comedy from the writer of The Catherine Tate Show, about true love, and how to find it. Jed (Bonneville) and Cheryl have been together for ten years when Jed decides to propose... only for it to trigger doubts on the meaning of love and make his life more complicated than ever. French Film director Thierry Grimandi (Cantona), and best friends and seemingly perfect couple, Sophie (Duff) and Marcus (Henshall) get caught up in Jed's new uncertain world and offer their own ways out. Will Jed discover, that when it comes to love, the French have all the answers...?

Some amigos of mine regard Vicky Cristina Barcelona [DVD] [2008] as nothing more than a bunch of cliches: neurotic New Yorkers, hot-headed Latins, you know the score. Well, this is the same but with Brits and Frogs.
Hugh Bonneville is faced with two crises: the start of couples therapy following his failed marriage proposal, and the prospect of interviewing a pretentious french director (Eric Cantona) about his films and their preoccupation with love. French Film manages to have it both ways, inviting us to laugh at the loquacious claptrap of a pontificating Frenchman and at the same time, admit that there's much still to learn for the defensive, sarcastic Brits who'd rather just keep a lid on things.
Very amusing, even laugh out loud funny, and quite charming, French Film might be a slight film but it won't disappoint. Time well spent.

Mildly Pleasing
Oh-Ah! Eric Cantona gets a fairly big role in this low-budget British film. A couple of laughs in it but it never really got going. Save your time & money: buy something else.

An intelligent, very funny, moving British Rom-Com - I know, really?!
The very moniker 'Rom-Com' has most chaps or discerning Film lovers reaching for the phone to call The Samaritans. Read more

Loved it!
This is a great rom-com - not only is it funny and charming, but it also provides a clever insight into the differences between French and English attitudes to love too. Read more
