French Lover

A Hollywood has-been and a café worker who’s seen better tip jars collide in Montmartre, where chemistry and croissants get equally overrated. She’s skeptical of scripts, he’s allergic to honesty, and Paris insists on playing matchmaker with terrible timing. The real romance, it turns out, is in pretending the paparazzi don’t exist.
