The Valet: the review

Posted on May 1, 2007 Written by Diane

As Darin and I walked out of the theater, I said, “Were you doing the same thing I was doing? Working out the changes for the American version?”

“Doing that probably made it a lot more fun to watch.”

We spent dinner discussing our rewrite.

While The Valet has gotten really excellent reviews, it’s not that great a movie. It’s very straightforward — there are absolutely no wasted bits in the movie. But it’s intensely superficial and obvious and the jokes weren’t all that good. So I’d have to say: Pass.
