My wife and are seniors. We find most comedies meaningless because they are crafted for a 35-40 year old audience. But this is a film a senior can relate to and enjoy. A senior couple from Birmingham takes the Eurostar to Paris for the weekend to celebrate their anniversary. Like my wife and me, they are in love and dependent on each other. But they still argue, bicker and disagree. I'm not sure if it's a comedy, a drama, a senior skin flick or an adventure film. There's a little bit of each. But it goes in some original directions and takes some unique twists. If you are 20 years old, you will neither enjoy nor understand this film. If you're, say, past your 25th. wedding anniversary, you're sure to find situations in the story that you and your spouse have experienced in your own marriage. It's a bit different but interesting, informative and entertaining. My only criticism is the frequent and unnecessary use of the F-word, all the more unlikely since the husband here is a cultured academic.
