...menage a trois. Visually, however, the formula is as before-plenty of skin displayed before Arcadian scenery.

...love with his married teacher-a closet Americophile amusingly played by Marie-France Pisier- only to become the butt of silly sex gags. Laura veers into a nervous breakdown that gratuitously breaks the movie's antic mood. Joel's romance with a snippy French girl (Val erie Quennessen) is a hotbed of cliches; it moves us only because Chapin's likable innocence contrasts so well with Quennessen's robust, Moreau-like sexuality...
