Up for Love

2016 · 1h 38m · Comedy, Romance, Drama

IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 48 RT 39%

Skip it. 'Up for Love' is a by-the-numbers rom-com that reduces its central character's arc to overcoming a shallow prejudice, which feels more patronizing than progressive. The premise hints at something meaningful, but this French film defaults to saccharine romantic comedy tropes instead of genuinely exploring the themes it sets up.

Plot

Diane is a well-known lawyer, divorced for three years. She loses her mobile telephone and receives a call from the person who finds it. That person is Alexandre, a charming man and the perfect gentleman. They make a connection over the phone and agree to meet up the following day. But when Alexandre arrives, there's a surprise in store when Diane discovers he is only 4' 6" tall. From that moment on, Diane tries to overcome the prejudices of society and her own fears to experience the best time of her life...
