Tom Wozniczka as Henri Cassell and Minka Kelly as Sydney Worth in “Champagne Problems.”
(Mika Cotellon / Netflix)
Caught at house this Christmas, however dreaming of France? Then pour your self a pleasant glass of bubbly, seize a comfy blanket and watch Kelly on this effervescent escape that I need to retitle “Minka in Paris.”
Kelly portrays Sydney Worth, an bold, American government angling to amass Chateau Cassell, an esteemed Champagne home within the French countryside. The night time earlier than her massive pitch, she visits a twinkle-lit bookstore and meet-cutes Henri Cassell (Tom Wozniczka), a soulful poet sort who invitations her to stroll by way of the Metropolis of Mild with him. One factor results in one other, and lo and behold, she discovers that his household owns the winery that she needs to say for her firm.
Cue the hijinks. The damage emotions. The loving stares. The luxe interiors that appear designed by Nancy Meyers. Although Kelly just isn’t practically as humorous as Cameron Diaz in “The Holiday,” she’s a number one woman each radiant and relatable. Her co-star, Sean Amsing, gives loads of comedian reduction as Roberto, a bon vivant who says issues like, “Everything I know about France, I learned from ‘Ratatouille.’”
I can think about listening to that joke at a celebration. Come to consider it, that’s what the film looks like: A enjoyable, fizzy get together — and we’re all on the visitor record.
