Beautiful Lies (2010)

De vrais mensonges (original title)

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Drama
*ing: Audrey Tautou, Nathalie Baye and Sami Bouajila

Not one of the best movies starring Audrey Tautou... but nonetheless a very nice feel good romantic comedy about a daughter and her depressed mother. Audrey plans a hair stylist owning and managing a salon and one fine day she gets a passionate love letter from a Mr. Anonymous. In a flash of a moment she re-writes the same passionate love letter to her mother who has been living very depressed after a separation and that sets things in motion ... after this point the movie is a delightful waltz to watch :) I really like the script, the chemistry looks real and very convincing, direction-wise it could have been a shade better but no complains on that front anyway. Audrey looks good but I somehow found Nathalie Baye steals the show in some places :) Sami ... well ... he is raw ... but maybe the gurlz may find him drool-worthy for his raw looks. Bottom-line: A nice light hearted romantic comedy that won't disappoint you, provided you have already watched a dozen or more French movies.
