Toi & Moi

You'd have to be dead not to fall in love with this frothy French bit of comedy about two sisters looking for love in Paris. The film stars Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) and Julie Depardieu (Rush Hour 3) as siblings stuck in bad relationships who learn to open their eyes -- and their hearts -- to the romantic possibilities surrounding them. Cotillard plays Lena, a concert cellist who begins to question her long-term relationship after she starts having feelings for a sexy guest conductor. Depardieu is a writer of popular romantic picture stories (tales told through steamy photos and detailed captions) whose unrequited love for a shallow cad keeps her from realizing that true love is literally right outside her window.
Director Julie Lopes-Curval fills the screen with bright images, setting the stage for this perfect romantic comedy.
