A thoroughly predictable bit of feel-good fluff, this movie sparkles because Queen Latifa gives a restrained and charming performance as the doomed department store clerk, Georgia Byrd. Her interaction with Gerard Depardieu's Chef Didier is touching, and is what makes the movie worth watching.

Still, there's nothing wrong with an hour and forty minutes of upbeat laughs. Not a DVD purchase, but a definite anti-depressant afternoon at the movies.
