This is really a delightful little movie - funny, sad, quirky and never predictable. It boasts a story line which places it nominally in the teen romance category but contains so many original elements that it is never derivative. Congratulations to the script writer who tells a story that surprises at every turn. Kudos to a great cast, none of whom I have seen before, who all play their roles perfectly especially the actors playing the nutty parents and the young man who plays the protagonist, Emile. This young actor brings such a sweetness and vulnerability to the role that you are drawn into the movie, just hoping that everything turns out alright for him. I can't remember any movie I have watched recently that combines humor with so many warm hearted moments as well as this movie does. Sure, it's not a heavy, deep or consequential movie; I don't imagine it was a comedy blockbuster in it's native country, but it is a breath of fresh air - light, sweet, funny and always enjoyable. I happily recommend it.
