Review is pretty much spot on, it's taken a worn out America clich� and injected it with a kind of European philosophy and pathos.
Quite enjoyable in a gentle way, the only time I really laughed was at Nick's attempt to get rid of the car but I didn't mind, it's never less than entertaining. Cera is actually quite convincing as Francois, he's got that dead eyed stare mastered to the point where I was trying to work out if he was wearing contacts.

This movie was crackers. In a good way. The dialogue occasionally drifted into, "No one talks like that" category, but not so far as to be distracting. There was a point where I just couldn't see it drawing to a satisfactory conclusion, but it still pulled it off.

Ray Liotta though, what the fuck? He got all the Botox and eyeliner going on.
