As if VF editor Graydon Carter, arguably the most star-struck journalist in our galaxy, would be offended by being portrayed so sympathetically by Jeff Bridges.

Tautou and Elmaleh make a wonderfully odd couple, a pair of scrappy kids trying to eke out an existence in an impossibly luxurious setting. The unadulterated joy Ir ne takes in throwing open the closet door to show Jean how this gold digging is done is positively infectious.... (Athens Banner-Herald)
