  • Warning: Spoilers
    "Honeymoon" (a.k.a. "Lune de Miel") has a great premise, dealing with a foreign woman who on paper has a marriage of convenience with an unknown American in order to be able to stay in New York - and then the unknown American starts showing up in her life, and given that she did an illegal act, can't do anything about it. As I said, a great premise, but the end results are severely botched. The first half of the movie is very repetitive, with the loony American showing up over and over again, with no advance to the story at all. In the second half of the movie, things start to get ridiculous, with characters making stupid decisions, and the entire enterprise is capped with a climax you've seen hundreds of other times in other third-rate thrillers. If you want to see a *good* French thriller, look for a copy of "Tell No One" instead of this loser.
