Dujardin and Efira are both charming and beautiful, and the film glistens in its breezy cobblestoned scenery.

Potentially great chemistry and good performances are largely wasted in this gimmicky rom-com, in which Jean Dujardin plays a four-foot-five Romeo seeking to woo a regular-sized woman.

The message would be more convincing if they'd cast a smaller actor instead of using distracting CG effects.
