I rented this movie solely on the shoulders of writer/director Luc Besson and a very cool DVD cover. It's worked for me in the past, and it worked out this time. In the hands of another director, this material could very easily have bombed. But in Luc's capable hands, a simple story was uniquely told through stunning visuals and witty French banter. A catchy soundtrack didn't hurt either.
Casting was perfect. The height distinctions between the two main
characters is borderline brilliant. Had the sexy, leggy, blonde angel
not been a full foot taller than her French counterpart, it would have
been a completely different film, and much less rewarding. You'll
agree with me after you see it.
Rating: B+
