He is a responsible man and a good father, perhaps just a little overprotective. He meets a beautiful woman (Juliette Binoche) in a bookstore and falls for her hard.<\/p>\n<p>When he learns that she is actually his brother&#8217;s girlfriend he becomes a little bit unglued and starts acting like a jerk. Sort of. Actually he doesn&#8217;t do anything really horrible, but he has the misfortune to be a member of The World&#8217;s Most Obnoxiously Perfect Extended Family, which makes even small deviations look pretty awful by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, there&#8217;s not much dramatic tension here. It&#8217;s pretty obvious from the start how things will work out. Nevertheless it manages to be very funny and heartwarming and entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>Rated PG-13 for no particular reason. I can&#8217;t imagine that any child would be harmed by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This movie is a gentle, lightweight romantic comedy.
