Light movie with some great shots on the surroundings of Karlovy Vary and full of delicious stigmas on europeans.

The funniest thing about this comedy is that the director's name is Wayne Wang.
This isn't a bad movie, but there's nothing that stands out either. It's just going through the motions, without any characters that are interesting or funny.

Learned: Order one of everything. It’s not all about mushy love stuff. Queen Latifah rocks.

All hail the Queen! This is such a delightful and inspirational little film, which a great message. Perfect for a family movie night. Queen Latifah, Gerard Depardieu, and LL Cool J are so endearing in their performances, and it has the perfect ending. After viewing this for the first time a few years ago, I subsequently learned that it is a remake of a classic film starring one of my favorite actors, Sir Alec Guinness. (That movie is also excellent). What surprised me is that this new version does not suffer from a comparison to the original; I think it stands on its own and instead benefits from the updates the filmmakers made (Georgia Byrd instead of George Byrd, for example). I can't recommend this enough if you need a feel good film to inspire and remind you to make your possibilities into realities!

I maintain my ridiculously high rating for this film. The plot is not exactly highbrow but Queen Latifah is such an amazing human in this movie you can't help but fall in love with her busted ass weave. QL 4 Eva!
