Sinopsis(1)

Primavera de 1958. Rose Pamphyle, de 21 años, vive con su padre, viudo cascarrabias que dirige la tienda del pueblo. Comprometida con el hijo del mecánico local, parece destinada a la vida tranquila y monótona de una ama de casa. Pero no es eso lo que ella desea. Cuando viaja a Lisieaux, en Normandía, dónde el carismático jefe de una agencia de seguros, Louis Echard busca una secretaria, la entrevista de trabajo resulta un desastre. Pero Rose revela un don especial, puede mecanografiar a una velocidad extraordinaria. Inconscientemente, la joven despierta el durmiente espíritu de competición de Louis. Si Rose quiere el trabajo tendrá que participar en una competición de mecanografía. Cualquiera que sean los sacrificios que tenga que hacer, Louis se declara su entrenador. La convertirá en la chica más rápida no solo del país, sino del mundo. Pero el amor al deporte no siempre combina bien con el amor a secas. (Vértigo Films Esp.)

inglés Cute, sumptuously stylized, nice, with the correctly selected and dosed pinch of tongue in cheek where the “fights" worked especially well. There’s just one problem, fundamental with regard to the genre; there’s simply no chemistry between the central duo. Both are right for their parts, but there’s about as much harmony between them as between two dead fish in a bucket. ()

inglés Expendables as a romantic comedy, with an incredibly distasteful Hugo Weaving clone in the lead. The French finale scene is pure motion elegance in both the filmmaking and the acting. ()

inglés To give four stars to this overly romanticized French comedy filled with declarations of love in multiple languages, there really must be some compelling reasons. And I found them. Sure, it was occasionally so sweet that I caught myself clenching my teeth, and I'm not exactly the biggest fan of French movies, but credit where it's due — the filmmakers here deserve some credit. Yes, the story was simple and pretty predictable, but it's a romantic comedy, so that's par for the course. What really grabbed me was the humor — it was right up my alley. Rose's training sequences were reminiscent of Rocky gearing up to fight Ivan Drago, and the actual sports performances had me scrambling to find the nearest World Championship of this captivating sport on every sports channel I could find. I won't lie, amidst the clacking of keyboards and the scent of burning paper, I was on the edge of my seat. This wasn't just a run-of-the-mill romance; it was an engaging sports thriller that kept me thoroughly entertained. / Lesson learned: It's only when you achieve significant success in life that you realize how many friends you truly have.
