Broken English (2007) 6/10

Starring : Parker Posey, Drea de Matteo, Tim Guinee, Gena Rowlands
Director : Zoe R Cassavetes
Running Time : 98 mins

Nora Wilder (Posey) is in her thirties and becoming increasingly worried that she’s the last of her friends to find someone. In a desperate attempt to find Mr Right, Nora embarks on a series of disastrous dates, finally meeting a younger French man named Julien (Guinee) who she quickly becomes smitten with, but when he asks her to come to France with him she declines, then instantly regrets her decision and travels with her friend Audrey (de Matteo) in search of him.

The first half of this movie was pretty boring, but towards the middle it became a little more interesting. Posey’s performance was good, but there was very little for her to play with in the sense of plot development. Once her character gets to France things pick up, but the ambiguous ending did little to satisfy me.
