The couple portrays\u00a0Dom, a (sort of) lovable French tramp, and Fiona, an awkward but sweet Canadian librarian. The movie blends\u00a0Buster Keaton-style physical comedy with\u00a0Wes Anderson\u2019s stylistic surrealness, and it paints Paris as a small, brightly colored movie set of a city.<\/p>\n<p>Fiona, who reminds me of Olive Oil from Pop-Eye, flies to Paris from her tiny, unnamed town in Canada (which is in a constant snowstorm), after her Aunt Martha sends her a letter asking for help in order to avoid being put in a nursing home. Unbeknownst to Fiona, addled Martha\u00a0wanders off from her apartment immediately after sending the letter, and becomes a tramp herself. Disaster-prone Fiona arrives in Paris and is unable to find her; shortly afterward,\u00a0she loses all her belongings in a hilarious\u00a0fall into the Seine, and is hopelessly stranded on her own.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Dom discovers her bag and decides to treat himself to a nice dinner \u2013 at the same restaurant where Fiona is using\u00a0her one pathetic food coupon from the Canadian consulate. What follows\u00a0is a whole bunch of silliness, with\u00a0many laugh-out-loud moments, as Dom trails\u00a0Fiona in her search for Martha. Some of the funniest moments are made so by the delivery; for example, Dom is wearing Fiona\u2019s sweater from her lost bag when she first meets him at the restaurant, and it\u2019s absurdly tight on him, but\u00a0she says, \u201cHey, I have the same sweater!\u201d It could\u2019ve been a throwaway line, but it really cracked me up. Fiona\u2019s adventures\u00a0involve the repeated appearance of a kind\u00a0Canadian Mountie; a bewildered\u00a0neighbor of Martha\u2019s who just wants to know what she did with his socks; a mix-up at a funeral where Dom delivers an insane eulogy; a second fall into the river, naturally; and a climb up the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the fact that everyone in Paris is very nice to Fiona, including the guy holding\u00a0her phone who runs after her for quite a while after she falls into the river. I was not quite convinced that Dom was the right guy for her though, being a bit deranged and a little gross?\u00a0I would\u2019ve preferred it if she ended up with the Mountie! But I\u2019m curious now about the real-life couple\u2019s other films, which include\u00a0\u201cL\u2019iceberg\u201d and \u201cThe Fairy.\u201d \u201cLost in Paris\u201d opens in theaters in NYC on\u00a0June 16th,\u00a0but should be out on DVD or Video On Demand soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLost In Paris\u201d is a whimsical new film from Oscilloscope Pictures, starring married comedians Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon.
