Will we see any telltale signs of that gender-switch in the movie? Oh link it, link it real good MovieLine awesome composer Alexandre Desplat doesn't...
France has been awash with nostalgic, sentimental comedy films for quite a few years. Many of them have fallen flat because the mechanism is too creaky. Feel-good films require you to suspend disbelief, so the audience has to be hooked...
