We're big fans of Luc Besson's films, whether he's lensing an over the top Space Opera (The Fifth Element) or an offbeat Heidi meets Pulp Fiction story (The Professional). Here he tells the story of a woman who fell to Earth and the down-and-out gambler who breaks her fall in a very French version of It's A Wonderful Life. Well, vaguely like it. A little. Did we mention it's very French? Which, with the incredibly sexy Angela (Rie Rasmussen), is a wonderful thing indeed. I was going to review this myself, but Gayle saw it first when it arrived...and that was the end of the discussion. - Ern(Theatrical Release Date: 05/25/2007 - DVD: 11/20/2007)
