My Wife is an Actress
October 31st, 2006
Yvan Attal, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Terence Stamp in a romantic comedy from France: Yvan’s jealous of his successful actress wife Charlotte, who’s making a movie in London. It’s all very pleasant, Gainsbourg is beautiful, and favorite Ludivine Sagnier has a minor part. But in the end it gets way too goofy, and there’s a dreadful subplot hinging on the circumcision of a Jewish baby. Written and directed by Attal, who really is married to Gainsbourg. It’s suprising Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn haven’t remade this yet.

Me, I think way too goofy is a good thing. This a completely forgettable movie but it was also lovely, warm and funny and maybe even smart. So there. I see your two stars and give it three and a half.
