McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Paris-Manhattan is an amusing little nothing of a movie built around the wit and wisdom of Woody Allen. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The premise of Paris-Manhattan is simple enough; unfortunately, so is everything else about writer-director Sophie Lellouche’s debut feature film. - 50
New York Post
There’s a good cinephile heart beating under this fluffy story. But Lellouche, in making her homage to Allen, left out one of his essential qualities: bite. Paris-Manhattan drifts by and never leaves a single toothmark. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Pretty, occasionally witty and not believable for a moment, Sophie Lellouche's Paris-Manhattan is suffused with fannish love for Woody Allen's films but hardly lives up to their legacy. - 40
The Guardian
By itself, this would just be one of those workmanlike relationship films the French turn out by the yard; but all the Allen stuff throws its mediocrity into sharp relief. - 40
Total Film
Sophie Lellouche’s slick debut is chock-full of Woody-com quotes and references, yet it remains an inconsequential, undernourished trifle that does sod-all with its potential. - 30
Village Voice
Shallow, witless but pretty enough French ode to Woody Allen. - 30
The New York Times
Were it not for the charming Patrick Bruel as a no-nonsense security expert and Alice’s unlikely suitor, this spun-sugar concoction would be well nigh unwatchable.
