Please, Please Me!

Part Woody Allen, part Buster Keaton and 100% certified French, actor-helmer Emmanuel Mouret expands his impressive oeuvre of minimalist, burlesque laffers with the slapstick-heavy romantic comedy ”Please, Please Me!”. More reliant on visual gags than 2007’s ”Shall We Kiss?”, but tackling similar themes of love and fidelity among a bunch of sex-crazed Parisians, pic aims for the creme de la crème with this clever romp about a goofball inventor trying to make it with the president’s daughter.
