Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

It's been 37 years since Diane Lane debuted as that cute little American girl involved in journey to Italy with a charming French boy starting in Paris in a film titled "A Little Romance" & now she stars as a married American woman traveling to Paris with a flirty Frenchman in this gastronomical Tour de France. Is this any more than a excuse for making a vacation travelogue exploring France through its beautiful countryside, museums, & fine dining restaurants? It's a feast for the eyes as the most delicious meals with fine wines appear before us. Artistic photo snapshots along the way are also visual delights. The always-in-a-hurry-and-let's-just-get-there American mentality is contrast by the just-relax-and-enjoy-life French philosophy. Could there be more than a platonic relationship building here as these two travelers spend time & learn more about each other?

Alien gives it 2½ "smoking & chocolates" stars out of 4.
