Seems minor and not as good as it could have been but its comic energy is irrepressible. NYC is colorful and chaotic, and when part of Marion (Delpy's) Parisian family of origin lands all heck breaks loose. Rock is a revelation as the boyfriend, though his monologues with a life-size Obama cut-out don't work especially well (I too like Obama). And the ending is 2-3 minutes of sappy affirmation but before that we get an invigorating interplay of personalities and ideas. Sounds pretentious, maybe, but I found it really funny. The 5-minute or so send-up of the contemporary art world presumes a certain familiarity. That's probably the limitation here: it's aimed at a type of audience that either gets it or not. But even if you don't catch every reference, relax and have fun with it.
