So when Sandro appears at a party, exactly like her Prince would in her dreams, she thinks she's found the right one. But then again, when she meets Maxime, Laura starts to wonder if some Princes could be more charming than others?


The critical consensus

This tangle of storylines undermines this winningly peppery fairy tale.

***(*)(*)Patrick Peters, Empire Online, 23/06/2014

There are some nice individual moments here, but they all appear amid a sea of wacky randomness.

**(*)(*)(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 26/06/2014

Agnès Jaoui – 'the French Woody Allen' – is more sugary and lenient here than in her earlier films.

**(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 26/06/2014

An amiable if slightly laboured ensemble comedy.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 27/06/2014

There are some nice performances, but too much time is spent with minor characters and the fairytale allusions are far too literal to be meaningful.
