It's a goofy, episodic trifle designed to induce swoons among the saccharine who coo every time they see a cute guy, or a baby, or a cute guy holding a baby while watching YouTube videos about how to change a diaper.

Cute to the point of blandness, tyro French helmer Clement Michel's vaguely amiable laffer scrupulously avoids all ambiguity, innovation or flashes of wit.

The result is not continuous laughter but 90 minutes in a kind of aerated existence, just credible enough to be amusing.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
