Here's the first movie with "the Lubitsch touch" since Ernst stopped touching in 1946.It's also the best chick flick ever -- with a male lead *and* made for a general audience.
Bill Murray has impeccable comic timing.
Scarlett Johansson looks lovely and acts totally believably.
And the third protagonist, Tokyo, comes off as a real, uh, character too.
Sophia Coppola, the director, has added further lustre to her family's name.
Do not read the reviews. Just go. Then read them later (as I do).
