Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
As flippant vaudeville-style comedies go, Cote d'Azur is rather weak.
– Peter Debruge,

rotten:
The gay-themed film's characters and complications are formula fluff.

rotten:
You might call it a musical without songs (mostly), or a farce without enough doors to slam, or a comedy without enough jokes.

rotten:
While Cote d'Azur should be a vacation, it's often more like work just trying to stay engaged.

fresh:
It's a diversion at best and a strained souffle at worst, but it rings enough Gallic changes on the old family-summer- gone-horribly- wrong genre to deliver some unexpectedly sharp laughs.
