Release Date:

September 10, 2014

Synopsis:

From IMDb: “An American inherits an apartment in Paris that comes with an unexpected resident.”

Poster: C+

Review: I’m not certain why posters designed for films targeting older audiences insist on using bright, vibrant colors, particularly yellow. This reminds me a bit of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which isn’t necessarily a compliment.

Trailer: C

Review: We know that Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith can both be quite funny, but there’s little funny about this trailer, which isn’t going to bring it broad appeal.

Oscar Prospects:

The annual “tribute” Oscar campaign might center around Oscar winner Maggie Smith whose role looks undercooked, but affecting. If the ladies from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel can’t score with Oscar voters, I doubt Dame Maggie will be able to either.
