Review: Bon Voyage (2003)

How could a film so riddled with cliches and scenes that has already been seen be so entertaining?

I didn't have much expectations when I decided to watch it, my flatmate had rented it and hadn't gone around to seeing it and I was feeling awake and alert that Sunday night. What else was I to do? It was awesome, the film flirts with Hitchcock, Truffaut and others I'm probably not aware of (the IMDB reviewers seemed to mentioning Renoir a lot). It wasn't very substantial but was mere entertainment (those expecting a World War Two drama would have been disappointed).

My flatmate attempted to watch but gave up after about half an hour declaring it 'shit'. I'll give it 8/10.
