Boring but nice visuals
Uninvolving or irritating characters, minimal plot with a few old clichés (e.g. a weakling with acne gets bullied by the Adonises who get the girls, so he takes up weightlifting to fight back; a loudmouthed American eventually has a heart attack - no doubt we are supposed to cheer)... it all soon makes you want to switch channels. However, the sets, settings (both in Paris and in the countryside), decors and photography are lovely and make it worth sticking with. In some respects, without the boorish characters it could just about be the sort of program you could expect to see on the Living Channel. The underground cathedral-like cave shown certainly had my attention.
It runs in the blood...
This pleasant enough( though somewhat stereotyped ) movie is a spin-off of a huge hit in France, " Trois hommes et un couffin " (a successful remake having been filmed in the States as "Three men and a baby"). While the three leading men are satisfied with repeating their performances of the initial movie with rather limited success, the film has a big asset, the naturalness of three actors, Madeleine Besson and Nathanael Serraut ( both children of the director), and James Thiérée, - the latter performing also some astounding acrobatics at the end of the movie, which is not surprising as he is from a circus family, and the grandson of Charlie Chaplin. It runs in the blood
Excellent film! Simple but has its charm!
Hello everyone! I watched this movie back in 2004! Just few months before I would turn 18! Such a beautiful movie, so innocent and pure. I fell in love with this movie. It is simple, with life humor and very enjoying and romantic film. I liked this film, the actors, the music of this film so much, that I have even pursued a DVD of it. it brings a good memory.
I recommend it to everyone who likes classical music and romantic trips and romance. I play the violin myself so just incredible to see a boy who learns it all for a girl! I would give this movie 10/10 and it is definitely on my favorite's list.

A nice evening in
This sequel is not as beautiful and lovable as the original but still it will provide you with a nice evening in front of the TV.
It's correct, the steadycam is a bit of a nuisance, but the wonderfully chosen music (violin-lovers, attention please), the great atmosphere of southern France and its crickets, the typically fast French dialogue and the talented actors André Dussollier and James Thiérrée make you forget about the wobbly picture.
Especially James Thiérrée was a surprise. His role was probably the best developed one, and he made the most of it. Watch out for the very last scene, that was a joy to watch. I thought there was something about him, and now I've found out he is the grandson of Sir Charles Chaplin. You definitely see the relation, the ability to enchant others seems to stay in the family.
Don't expect a masterpiece, then you will be happy with this film for the next hours.
