Girl on a Bicycle2013
Paolo, an Italian who drives a Paris tour bus, has just proposed to his true love, the German stewardess, Greta, when the young French beauty, Cécile pulls up beside his bus on her bicycle. In short order, Paolo, following some very bad advice from his friend Derek, finds himself with a German fiancée, a French "wife" and two Australian children who call him "Papa" (and his life upside-down).
What makes this film worth watching?
"If you’re willing to believe the old moviemaking canard that beautiful, intelligent women are attracted to underachieving men with no ambition or prospects, then you’ll find [it] to be a sweet, often witty romantic comedy." - Neil Genzlinger, NY Times

Loved it. Just an adorable little comedy. It makes the world go away for 90 minutes. The lead is so charming. It is refreshing to meet a character who is so openly naive and so genuinely loving. He does such a good job of conveying that innocence. The other actors were equally as good. It was just a wonderfully light European comedy, done as only they do...free from vulgarities, and full of charm. Highly recommended

For a light, summery, date night -- or on a flight from Paris to Milan, or Berlin and back. Completely relaxing and enjoyable.
Nice one, thanks fandor
Was a nice watch
Very cute and enjoyable film. Loved it.
funny, not laugh out loud but funny and better than an American romantic comedy, or most at least
Maybe not a film I'll remember forever, but sweet and charming, with a low-key magic. Visually lovely, well acted. Nice for date night or family movie night (if your family can handle seeing a breast for two seconds).
not all that cute, but.....nothing is like an original. pleasant......
