Some French humour still eludes me, and A Perfect Plan is one of those rom-coms that irritates more than amuses.

It requires you to suspend disbelief but go with it and A Perfect Plan is funny, winning and romantic.

None of the obvious plotholes would matter if it was in any way romantic or funny. Oh well.

People do screwy things in screwball comedies - and we're tickled when the filmmakers pull off the daftness with panache. Yet it's hard to raise a smile from the laboriously contrived kookiness of Diane Kruger and Dany Boon's wildly mismatched couple.

There's nothing perfect or planned about Diane Kruger's madcap scheme in this belatedly released 2012 Gallic romcom.

The French don't always get the balance right in their farcical romantic comedies, but they usually win us over with goofy charm. Alas, the plan never quite comes together this time.

There are some funny moments and the leads are charismatic with chemistry but at points this is overly mean

The hypothesis is impossible to believe, as well as the love story, but as an average comedy, it is not bad.

I thought it was great; joyous and funny.

Cute French farce comedy. The first half is better than the second and it's a little too long, but mostly I enjoyed this. A few laughs and some interesting background to the movie.

Wry French humour, not totally overboard, showcasing the frivolity of marriage for some, until the realization of true love hits. The escapades to Copenhagen, Nairobi and Kilimanjaro were fun.
