| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 23, 2006

Little more than an alluring travelogue with a side order of R-rated humpiness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2005

As flippant vaudeville-style comedies go, Cote d'Azur is rather weak.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 21, 2005

You might call it a musical without songs (mostly), or a farce without enough doors to slam, or a comedy without enough jokes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 7, 2005

While Cote d'Azur should be a vacation, it's often more like work just trying to stay engaged.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 7, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 30, 2005

Sexually brazen yet also rather sweet.

| Sep 29, 2005

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 | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 15, 2005

Like many a French summer holiday, Côte d'Azur ends up being pretty, listless, and much too long.

| Sep 13, 2005

Watching the featherweight French farce Côte d'Azur provides the oxymoronic sensation of looking at a pornographic movie with no real sex.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 9, 2005

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 9, 2005

It's all lots of fun while it lasts, but you'll likely forget about it as soon as the credits roll.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 9, 2005

This breezy French sex farce offers an alternative to Viagra -- a Mediterranean seaside village that's so sun-dappled and alluring that anyone who vacations there quickly succumbs to pansexual languor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 9, 2005

It's hard to make a dull movie with copious nudity and all kinds of sex (straight, bi and gay), although French filmmakers Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau manage to do so.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 9, 2005

This is a sophisticated adult treat in the French manner with an attractive and gifted cast and is essentially serious, yet often whimsical and always compassionate.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2005

What's nice about Cote d'Azur -- besides the musical numbers that are completely insane -- is that something or someone is always jumping out of the bushes, and the film has such a patient understanding of who and what that might be.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 8, 2005

As (yet another) homage to the fabled elasticity of French carnal mores, it's tiresomely coy.

Full Review | Sep 8, 2005

It's the filmmakers' gentle, humanistic affection for their dysfunctional clan that allows the film to moderately rise above its somewhat rote tale of Riviera bed-hopping.
