Critic Reviews
While Cote d'Azur should be a vacation, it's often more like work just trying to stay engaged.
It's a diversion at best and a strained souffle at worst, but it rings enough Gallic changes on the old family-summer- gone-horribly- wrong genre to deliver some unexpectedly sharp laughs. Full Review
Sexually brazen yet also rather sweet. Full Review
There's no denying the appeal of well-toned half-naked bodies, a sun soaked Mediterranean beach, and -- musical numbers extolling the aphrodisiac qualities of shellfish?
Sunny little nothing of a French comedy. Full Review
Like many a French summer holiday, Côte d'Azur ends up being pretty, listless, and much too long. Full Review
Watching the featherweight French farce Côte d'Azur provides the oxymoronic sensation of looking at a pornographic movie with no real sex. Full Review
Cote D'Azur is an attempt at a witty, life-affirming sex farce, but it has no truth, wisdom or honesty, and it's barely entertaining. Full Review
It's all lots of fun while it lasts, but you'll likely forget about it as soon as the credits roll. Full Review
