I left the theater with a grin on my face... that rarely happens.  It was a movie constructed with predictable tropes in an unpredictable fashion.  It was the sort of mental noodling in which i regularly engage.  It was fun, it was gross, it was not especially deep but it didn't need to be.  It's a movie about nothing and about everything, about you and about everyone else but you, about bad poetry and Shania Twain.

If there were such a thing as the Susan Sarandon-Julianne Moore spectrum, and it were described by a parabola with its apex in France, you would find Isabelle Huppert there.  Lily Tomlin's costuming was marvelous.  The movie doesn't take itself too seriously, so if you go see it, neither should you.
