Urban horticulturalist Brontë Mitchell (Andie MacDowell) has her eye on a gorgeous apartment, but the building's board will rent it only to a married couple. Georges Fauré (Gérard Depardieu), a waiter from France whose visa is expiring, needs to marry an American woman to stay in the country. Their marriage of convenience turns into a burden when they must live together to allay the suspicions of the immigration service, as the polar opposites grate on each other's nerves.

[A]n effortlessly engaging love story whose ace in the hole is the almost indecent magnetism of Gerard Depardieu.

4/5

It's funny, sweet - and utterly lop-sided.

The movie is just pleasing enough to make you wish there were more to it.

Silly and obvious as this romantic comedy is (and its script would have seemed dated in 1942), it might have mustered a considerable charm if Depardieu had been better matched in his first American film.

This is a classic of it's kind. The score is mesmerizing, and adds to the overall feel of the movie,which is funny, moving and memorable. There is something wrong with people if they only give this movie the score it has at the moment. It's far better than many movies rated much higher than it.
