Ripley's movie review
It was funny and charming and entertaining. A couple of ‘chase’ scenes were very well done and the dialogue was great. Recommended.

Newt's movie review
A great fun story with a fabulous ending. The Eiffel Tower scene was optically nauseating but that was the idea. I really enjoyed the dialogue but it was the artfully directed story that made it so fun and so good. Watch, listen and enjoy.
