Review of Go With Le Flo (2014) by Robertcarver — 04 May 2014
I love this film. I'm disappointed with a lot of the Hollywood cookie-cutter fare the studios seem to be intent upon force-feeding us, and this film, Go with Le Flo, was a helpful antidote. I agree with the Lubitsch/Wilder comments.
It's certainly a homage to those geniuses. But, hey, if you're going to emulate somebody, why not emulate the greats! If you like Some Like It Hot, or Ninotschka, or Bringing Up Baby (to bring in Howard Hawkes for a moment - who, I would venture is on director Micheal Glover's favorites list) then you'll probably like Go With Le Flo.
The actors are great and the writing is excellent. It's a fine film and goes miles past the borders of the average low budget film. No stars in it but I think that's a plus. You judge the characters as characters and don't have to pretend that George Clooney is a lowly shop-keeper and not a Millionaire movie star.
Nice job by the way by the actors who play Florian and Jenny. Ah… to have someone who loves you like Jenny does! What a dream… (Great speech at the end for Jenny too… Won't say anything else because I hate spoilers.
