Filmmaker/screenwriter Océanerosemarie (in the bright red, foreground in the photo) stars as what I certainly hope is a highly fictionalized version of herself in this screwball comedy. After a series of intense but fleeting relationships, she meets Cécile (in the black t-shirt), a professional photographer who she decides is “the one.” Now all she has to do is convince her myriad exes who are working with Océane’s mother to sabotage her fledgling relationship with Cécile. Oh, and she has to convince Cécile, on which mission she begins with borderline stalking.
It was not as funny as I hoped, mainly because I felt that many of the wackier scenes fell flat, especially with Fantine, a recent ex who seems to be trying to win Océane back — although I don’t know what either sees in the other. It’s cute and has some genuinely funny moments, so I’ll give it a tepid Recommended.
