"Not funny enough to be a comedy"
2 stars"

Marketed as a comedy, I found very little to laugh about in this movie. Story of one woman having a very messy divorce after her cheating husband walks out, while her sister is busily throwing herself into an affair with one of the afore mentioned cheating husband's cheating Uncles.

A number of “key” parts of the movie are in French but not subtitled so I ended up turning on the DVD subtitles for the entire movie to try and make sense of it…thought maybe I had just missed the jokes but a second run through revealed that they just weren't there to be found. Best thing about the movie was the shots of Paris etc but not really enough of a reason to watch this one.

Description

The cinematic team of Merchant Ivory (Howard's End, The Remains of the Day) leaves corsets behind for the contemporary world of Americans in Paris. The day Isabel Walker (Kate Hudson, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days) comes to visit her pregnant sister Roxy (Naomi Watts, Mullholland Drive) is the day Roxy's French husband leaves her. The divorce proceedings end up centering around a painting, long owned by the Walkers, that the husband's family would like to claim--but their maneuverings are complicated when Isabel begins an affair with a diplomat (Thierry Lhermitte, The Closet) who just happens to be Roxy's uncle-in-law. At its best moments, Le Divorce has the feel of one of Woody Allen's serio-comic films like Hannah and Her Sisters, and there's a genuinely suspenseful climactic scene on the Eiffel Tower. Also featuring Leslie Caron, Glenn Close, Matthew Modine, Stephen Fry, Sam Waterston, and Stockard Channing.
