I feel like she started every encounter with a Bonjour.

The reality is that most parisians do speak English...especially at hotels and restaurants. Touristy cities = English.

I do agree! Don’t like that look at all! She’s gorgeous though


She has way too many wrinkles for a 31 year-old


I wish I had her "wrinkles"

The actress who plays her is Phil Collins' daughter. I didn't know that until I read a review.

Does Lily Collins still have an eating disorder? I agree, she's way too thin. Keep in mind that the camera puts 20 lbs on you.

I did not like Sylvie and the crazy guy with grey hair who seem too old and out of touch to be in a marketing firm.

Agree that Gabriel is HOT. Can we get a show about him instead?



Yes, please. Or hook him up with Mindy instead and send them on a series of adventures.

I was impressed they had a black person as one of her office mates. Yes, France is very multi-cultural but that doesn't play into the stereotypes. The other scenes (like at parties and fashion shows), and nearly everyone was white so I guess that made up for it that way.


France is multicultural, but in a weird, fetishizing way when it comes to people of African descent.
