Viewers coming to this film without having seen the others would have no problem following the action; whether they'd care about it is another question.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A hectic, convoluted French comedy about a Parisian novelist and the three women in his life.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

An amiably daffy look at perpetual adolescence, French-style.

Once the story picks up, it's easy, breezy and enjoyable. It seduces you into thinking: Wouldn't it be fun to reconnect with Xavier in another five years or so?
Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
The film flits from one subplot to another and not in that delightfully freewheeling European kind of way.
Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic
