About this movie

Laura is still waiting for Prince Charming at the age of 24. 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? Of course Sandro has problems of his own: his father, Pierre, just bumped into Madam Irma at his father's funeral and this reminded him of the date of his own death which Madame Irma had predicted ages ago. Now Pierre is unable to make any plans, not with his new partner Eleonore, nor with Sandro. And Maxime has his own problems, and so does Eleonore, Marianne, Jacqueline and many others. But don't worry, in the end, they'll all live happily ever after. (Original Title - Au bout du conte) 2014 Artificial Eye

Ratings and reviews

Quirky, but what could have been a lively romcom gets bogged down with too many characters, and strained over intellectualising that slows it down to a crawl. The odd ending comes from an under-developed minor plot thread, but I liked the way the silly fantasist heroine paid for her wanton infidelity at the end. You might like it more if you're a fan of Woody Allen.
